Manufacturing joint ventures involve partnerships that increase product distribution, expand into new regions, and grant access to new markets. Partners can complement each other’s production processes and may need regulatory approvals. The structure and financial conditions may change over time, and the partnership can be altered if acceptable to all members.
Manufacturing joint venture partnerships are one-time deals that typically lead to increased distribution of some products. One impetus for such an agreement could be to expand a company’s reach into a new region. Products can be developed to meet a certain need over a period of time, or production could lead to a long-term commitment to a market. In any industry, including manufacturing, the joint venture operates as a separate entity from the firms that form the partnership.
A manufacturing joint venture between international partners can grant a company access to a new market. It is likely that regulatory approvals will need to be met in order for production of any product to begin. Manufacturing often takes place in the country where the product will be distributed.
Companies that get involved in a manufacturing joint venture have a role to play in the production of certain products. Partners can be involved in the same part of the production process or they can complement each other with different lines of business. In a manufacturing enterprise, the participants may agree to rent or otherwise access some facility where production for the item at the core of the partnership can begin. If the partners are eager to begin production in the short term, but the life of the joint venture is expected to last for many years, a temporary facility may be used until another more permanent location can be secured.
Getting a structure is crucial in a manufacturing joint venture. The new business does not replace production in the core business of the partners in the enterprise, but adds to those practices. Subsequently, it’s also possible that following a joint venture announcement, production at the newly combined company won’t start for months or even the next year.
Once the terms of a manufacturing joint venture are established, these parameters may change. Financial conditions can also be changed. Manufacturers of technology products, for example, may experience an unexpected drop in demand for their items during economic downturns or due to demand for other technology trends, for example. In the event that a company engages in a manufacturing joint venture with a partner and is subsequently hit with declining sales elsewhere, the financial commitment to a partnership may no longer be prudent. The responsibilities, distribution of profits and investments of the partnership can be changed even after the start of the enterprise if the terms are acceptable to all members.
