ITOCHU's size, operational breadth, and global presence have enabled us to successfully implement over US$1.5 billion of countertrade and offset transactions in more than 20 countries since the establishment of our Countertrade and Offset (CT/O) unit in 1987. Our client base includes many of the world's leading companies in the aerospace, telecommunications, electronics, power generation and infrastructure development sectors.

A key to our success is that we have:

  • A conceptual understanding of countertrade and offsets.
  • An in-country presence and first hand familiarity with key commercial and political figures in most countries where we do business.
  • Direct ownership of the projects and resources we bring to bear on CT/O transactions. This is in contrast to many CT/O consultants and smaller firms which can give advisory or limited project support but are incapable of directly implementing large CT/O transactions or assuming the financial obligations (such as posting performance bonds) that implementing these transactions often requires.
