French term or phrase: j.v de filetage VAM

Same document (otherwise all legal which is what I normally translate!) on company producing tubes.

"Dans la perspective d’un fort accroissement de la demande YYY en OCTG premiums les dirigeants de XXX, par l’intermédiaire de ZZZ, se sont rapprochés de AAAA en proposant la création d’une j.v de filetage VAM de tubes OCTG premiums sur un terrain proche de leur tuberie."

I have found "threading" for "filetage" in this context, and could VAM be the name of a company or is it a process of some kind?
