The Division works closely with: U.S. airlines and aircraft manufacturers; ship owners, operators, oil and gas energy companies, and investors; U.S. and Japanese automobile and parts manufacturers and dealer groups; and U.S. industrial/construction distributors and Japanese manufactures. It has many strategic relationships including: Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, and JetBlue; ChevronTexaco and Modec International; Transfreight, and Paccar; and Echo Inc. and Komatsu America.

Its projects are many faceted around the aircraft, ship, auto, and construction industries. When looking at specifics, its strength is evidenced in: investments in single investor lease and finance arrangements for U.S. airlines; sales of new building & second hand ships, chartering, ship finance, participation in ship owning projects, and participation in offshore oil & gas development projects; the import and wholesale of Japanese-made trucks into the U.S., the export of U.S.-made autos to Japan, the retail sales of American/Japanese/European-made autos in the U.S., parts supply to U.S. truck manufacturers, and providing logistics services to U.S. auto manufacturing plants; the import/distribution of Japanese industrial/construction machinery to the U.S. and South America.

The Division's success in aircraft and ship operations is primarily a result of its professional know-how in the areas of U.S. tax lease and Japanese operating lease and its relationships with U.S. airlines and aircraft manufactures.
