Site selection
Finding the right location for your office, plant, lab or warehouse. We weigh cost, workforce, logistics, utilities and incentives together and give you a clear side-by-side comparison.
Everything it takes to build a U.S. operation, under one team.
Pick one service or the full journey. You decide how involved we are.
Soft Landing: one process, every service
Soft Landing is Kay Group's process for entering or expanding in the U.S. with the right plan, the right people and the right setup, so you get results fast and avoid costly mistakes.
Every service below is part of the Soft Landing process. Use one, or the full journey from first conversation to a running U.S. operation.
Operations
Standing up the processes, systems, vendors and people that turn a relocation or expansion into a working operation, including HR, finance, legal and insurance partners, real estate and vendor management.
Logistics and supply chain
We advise and help you set up logistics the way that suits your business, in-house or with outside providers. Where an outside provider fits, that can include SRI Partners, a logistics company we are part owners of.Supply chain and logistics that scale with you, planned and set up in-house or with outside providers: storage, repacking, assembly, quality control, freight consolidation, returns and samples, and shipments to factories and retail chains.
Business development
U.S. market strategy, partnerships, channels and introductions that shorten the path to revenue.
Funding, grants and incentives
Identifying the state and local incentives, grants and funding you may qualify for, analyzing what each is really worth to you, and helping you prepare and submit the applications.
Labs, data centers, AI factories and advanced manufacturing design
Delivered through our partnership with DLVS.Facility design and build-out for technical environments.
Special projects
When your team is stretched or missing a specific skill: crisis management, site relocation, logistics projects and other one-off needs. We also take on projects that would pull your team away from day-to-day work, such as early evaluations and feasibility studies that may be too early to share widely inside the company.
Technology scouting for U.S. companies
For companies without an in-house innovation team. We find, evaluate and help implement new technology, looking beyond features to integration, security, maintenance and the effect on your people and operations. Sectors include finance, manufacturing, telecom and transportation, and technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR) and the Internet of Things (IoT).
