I don't see why a large business would partner with a small one. The small one has nothing to offer and would just increase overhead. Only way it would work is if the large business bought out the small business and just used it's well established name.

Also on the heater cores, my buddy works for a small heat exchanger outfit as a design engineer. I asked him about a design for PC cases and said I would have to buy at least 1,000 and the cost would be around $60-$90 each and performance wouldn't be any better than whats already out there. he said they could sub it out to a larger company and drop the price to around $40-$60 each but I would have to get 10,000 minimum.
