The Bosal Delphi non-equity partnership is an example of this. Bosal is an expert at muffler and pipe-work design and manufacture, and Delphi is an expert at building catalytic converters. When OEM customers wanted full system exhaust suppliers, rather than using capital to enter markets where heavy competition exists, they combined expertise to satisfy the customer requests.
