U.S. Firms Make Strong Statement

Our Bureau - : Oct 18, 2023 - : 9:58 pm

The 70-year alliance between the United States and Korea is prominently on display at the Show where more than 70 American companies are showcasing products and capabilities.

Fourteen U.S. military aircraft are on static display. Reaffirming the strong relationship between the two countries, several high-level U.S. diplomatic, military, and industry leaders are in attendance.

The centerpiece of the U.S. national presence at the event is the USA Partnership Pavilion, organized for the sixth consecutive edition by Kallman Worldwide, in coordination with government agencies including the U.S. departments of Commerce, Defense, and State. The Pavilion helps American exhibitors to maximize their exposure and impact at the event.

The U.S. has the largest international presence at the Show that is being held against a backdrop of growing geo-political tension in Asia and the western Pacific region. The U.S. Commerce Department most recently ranked South Korea as the 18th largest customer for U.S. aerospace and defense suppliers, nearing US$1.3 billion in purchases in 2022 and approaching 25 percent of total annual U.S. exports there.

The 30-plus U.S. companies participating in the Pavilion, including 10 first-time Seoul ADEX exhibitors, represent 13 states. Kallman Worldwide President and CEO Tom Kallman said the strong American participation in the USA Partnership Pavilion at Seoul ADEX 2023 reflects a global trend.

“Now more than ever, success in international trade comes from partnership and teamwork. The USA Partnership Pavilion sharpens our focus on advancing America’s national security and global trade interests by building stronger relationships with our international customers,” Kallman said. “From publicly traded OEMs to small-and-medium sized enterprises, many of our exhibitors already have significant partnerships and operations in South Korea. In the years to come, many more will.”

Among the major U.S companies at the event are Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Korea, Philip Goldberg is attending the Show 2023 as head of a national delegation that will include General Kenneth S. Wilsbach, Commander, Pacific Air Forces; Air Component Commander, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command; and Executive Director, Pacific Air Combat Operations Staff, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii.
