Helping an Automotive Company Break Into the U.S. Market
A Canadian auto company was determined to enter the U.S. market and launch a new electric vehicle.
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
BDO's Solution
BDO’s Site Selection & Incentives team conducted a confidential national site selection process, evaluating over 30 sites in a dozen states.
BDO assessed various options and negotiated a high-value discretionary incentives package.
BDO built relationships with and continues to serve as a liaison between the organization and state and local officials.
Company Benefits
The company is on track to create 500 new positions in the North American market.
The incentives package will offset a significant percentage of the company’s operating costs.
Direct, high-level political support will allow the client to seek input from influential parties to further develop the ecosystem.
