"Together, we embrace the momentum of growth in this vibrant region, uniting our respective experience with the dynamism of an expanding enterprise."

Joshua Lee, who founded Lee Marine in 1997, commented, "We are excited to announce this partnership to the market today and expect our combined experience and resources to deliver significant long term benefits to our manufacturers and client base."
