Sphere Signs Exclusive Distribution and Strategic Partnership Agreement with HANA Aero Through 2036

On April 17, Sphere Corporation (hereinafter "Sphere"), a global aerospace supply chain integration solutions company, announced that it has signed a long-term strategic partnership and exclusive distribution agreement with HANA Aero Dynamics (hereinafter "HANA Aero"), a company specializing in precision machining of aerospace components. The contract period extends until 2036.

This collaboration was initiated as part of Sphere's efforts to structure and select key partners as a strategic supply chain management (SCM) company that directly designs and manages the global aerospace value chain. The strategy aims to secure manufacturing partners capable of long-term cooperation in order to strengthen supply chain competitiveness.

HANA Aero possesses precision machining technology based on advanced alloys such as aluminum and titanium, covering everything from micro-scale to large components. The company has produced and supplied tools for satellites and space launch vehicles, operates facilities that meet global standards, and is the only company in Korea to export completed Bell 412 assemblies. In addition, HANA Aero supplies products to Bell Textron, a global leader in rotorcraft manufacturing.

Through this agreement, Sphere has obtained exclusive distribution rights for high-performance aerospace components produced by HANA Aero within the North American space industry. Consequently, Sphere will exclusively supply these products to major customers, including leading global space launch vehicle companies. At the same time, HANA Aero will serve as the sole manufacturer for specific projects commissioned by Sphere, taking full responsibility for technical support and quality assurance.

Sphere has been moving beyond traditional individual vendor collaborations, continuously advancing a supply chain integration strategy based on long-term partnerships. Following its partnership in the precision tube sector with Tris, Sphere has further strengthened its supply chain for high-specification special alloy parts by securing HANA Aero as a core manufacturing partner in precision machining. According to the company, this has allowed them to establish an integrated structure that ensures supply stability, quality compliance, and timely delivery all at once.

The agreement remains in effect until 2036, and will be automatically renewed in five-year increments thereafter. Additionally, the contract is structured to remain valid through the completion of each project, securing continuity in global business operations.

A representative from Sphere stated, "This contract demonstrates that the global aerospace supply chain Sphere has built possesses both technological strength and market dominance," adding, "From securing raw materials through the Indonesia ENC smelter to forming exclusive partnerships with top-tier manufacturers domestically and internationally, we are creating differentiated value as a 'Supply Integrator.'"

The representative added, "We plan to expand our supply chain model beyond the space industry to advanced sectors that require high-reliability materials and precision machining, such as humanoid robotics and next-generation AI space data centers," and went on to say, "We aim to become a global top-tier SCM orchestrator."
