Wavteq has extensive experience in resource based sectors, which account for over 20% of global foreign direct investment.
We have developed trade and investment strategies, value propositions, and have implemented investment generation programs for economic development organizations for both greenfield and PPP investors resulting in over $15 billion in investments. We have a key focus on sustainable investments in these sectors.
Our specific sector experience includes:
This was the largest ever Chinese greenfield manufacturing investment in the USA. The Wavteq team worked with the company and Louisiana Economic Development to help make the project happen. This included setting up and attending meetings for the Secretary of Louisiana with Yuhuang as part of a road show to China organized by Wavteq.
Building a new World-scale methanol unit in Louisiana is Shangdong Yuhuang's first major step in becoming a global player in the petrochemical industry. Louisiana was the right choice for our company to locate our first operation in the USA and we were greatly assisted by Louisiana's Economic Development Department's representatives in China in coming to that decision.
