Established in the U.S. in l988 as a trading company, Argosy began to focus on the commercial aerospace market in Asia when the company became the solutions provider for all non-standard items to a major contractor in Taiwan where it opened an office. Over the next five years, Argosy became a key supplier to China and was well positioned in this market when outsourcing to Asia by OEMs took off in 2000. To serve the needs of the market, Argosy opened offices in Beijing, Xian and Shanghai, China as well as in Korea, Malaysia, India and Australia in addition to its Taiwan office. Currently, Argosy is an approved supplier to every major aerospace contractor in Asia, except Japan.
