The case could end up significantly changing the way companies that do business internationally resolve their disputes, not just in the United States, but across the globe.
Servotronics, an American parts-maker, supplied valves to Rolls-Royce, a British maker of jet engines, for use in an engine that was later installed on a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.
Boeing makes three models of Dreamliners, but all come through the company’s operation in North Charleston as part of Boeing’s global supply chain. The 787-9 is the mid-sized version of the widebody jetliner.
When a customer buys a plane from Boeing, they have several options to choose from, including which engine to purchase for the aircraft. Boeing offers General Electric and Rolls-Royce engines for the Dreamliner.
