For U.S. and international companies with an existing U.S. operation
Already operating in the U.S.? How to expand, relocate or improve your operation
The short answer: Start with a short assessment: what works, what does not, and where you need to be in two years. Then choose the right move: a second site, a relocation, a stronger team, or better processes and vendors. Companies that already operate in the U.S. are a large part of our work.
How to move forward
Assess where you stand
Talk with headquarters and the local team, and look at the numbers: capacity, costs, delivery times, turnover and customer feedback. Common triggers are a site that is too small or too far from new customers, a U.S. team that is not delivering, fast growth that processes did not keep up with, and rising logistics costs.
Compare the options
What can be improved in place, and what justifies a second site or a relocation? Put the options side by side on cost, time, risk and the effect on customers and employees.
Build the plan
Steps, costs, timeline and who does what. For a new site, this includes site selection and incentives; for a team, clear roles, targets and support from headquarters.
Carry it out without stopping the business
Run the change as a project alongside daily operations, with regular check-ins and clear measures of progress.
Common myths
- Myth: If the U.S. team is not delivering, replace the team. Often the missing piece is a clear target customer, plan, authority or support from headquarters. Check those first.
- Myth: A second site should be near the first one. The right location depends on customers, workforce, logistics and costs. Sometimes that is next door, and sometimes it is another region.
- Myth: We are already here, so we know how it works. Each state and region differs in workforce, costs and incentives. A structured comparison still pays off.
Questions we hear
