There are many good reasons to go offshore. Some want to reduce the impact of currency/price instability on their margins and resellers. These want to offer better lead-times, different products or lower prices in a given region of the world. Others go offshore to recapture their own domestic market: high-volume orders are disappearing, their production capacity is eroding and low-cost competitors with little or no labor, marketing and R&D costs are redefining their market. Still others simply want higher returns for their shareholders (and benefit from labor rates as low as $0.5/hour in China and $2 in Mexico).

Whether your project involves an acquisition or building an operation from the ground up, we can help. We will help you find and negotiate with the best candidates (companies, staff and locations). We will help you understand and solve the accounting, logistic, engineering and ultimately IT issues raised by customs and temporary import programs (zero-value piece-part inventories, transfer pricing, engineering file synchronization etc.). We will help you estimate and control your costs and lead-times. We will succeed for you as we have for others.
