SGL Group is the parent company of HITCO, which supplies CF parts for the 777 and possibly the 787. However their plant is in Gardena, CA, whereas the plant in Moses Lake is, from my understanding, a joint venture between BMW and SGL Group directly. Meaning the plant in Moses Lake will only supply BMW with CF, unless BMW decides to get into the CF business.
