Location, Location, Location!
Americas site selection made right

The Americas represent boundless potential for production and R&D development. But pinpointing the location that offers access to compatible infrastructure, regulation and distribution channels can be a challenge.

Narrowing down the right location in North or South America means understanding the diversity of regulation, distribution channels and consumer behaviours which can impact entry to market and business growth. The right location can make or break your Americas business ambitions. Start your Americas expansion with the right location for you and your customers.

HITTING THE BULLSEYE

Cost analysis

A cost analysis should consider the differences between labour costs, electricity, land and real estate as a starting point. Individually and collectively, these can vary greatly, and influence a final decision.

Trade agreements

A strategic location choice should consider the impact trade agreements like Mercosur, CETA, USCMA and the Buy America Act will have on your value chain.

Taxes

Taxes can be the biggest challenges and opportunities and differ greatly between countries and markets, and in some instances, down to provincial level.

Labour

Knowing your preferred labour profile and building this into your location search guarantees start-up will be supported by staff with the necessary skills.
