Subcontracting and Partnership Exchanges (SPX) are technical information, promotion and match making centers for industrial subcontracting and partnership between main-contractors, suppliers and subcontractors, aiming at the optimal utilization (the most complete, rational and productive) of the manufacturing capacities of the affiliated industries. SPXs should be organized as non-profit industrial associations run by qualified entrepreneurs. In effect, the Exchanges appear not only as the meeting points and the instruments of regulation between the supply and the demand of industrial subcontracting orders, but also as instruments of assistance to both partners, and particularly the small and medium supplier or subcontracting enterprises.
