Company background
Client Challenges
Prior to successfully breaking into a new market, the client needed to ensure they would be able to overcome any supply chain disruption and cost challenges.
Additionally, leadership needed assistance with launch, including:
Assessing various locations and selecting an optimal site for production
Building relationships with local political leaders
Negotiating an incentives package
