Samsung Expresses Interest in Fokker: Samsung Corp., South Korea’s largest industrial company, said it is considering buying all or part of Dutch aircraft maker Fokker, which is under court protection from its creditors. “We are very much interested in Fokker,” Park Jong Hyun, a spokesman for Samsung Aerospace Co., said in Seoul. “But we have not decided anything on buying the company.” A union of the two would give Fokker a partner with great financial resources and provide Samsung access to the Dutch company’s technology. A spokesman at Fokker’s Amsterdam headquarters said the company received a fax from Samsung over the weekend expressing the conglomerate’s interest. He declined to specify whether Samsung is interested in all or part of the company.
