Does your company consider an expansion in the US?
Just where should your facility be?
Perhaps your company will not invest $4.1 billion in a new plant in Alabama as ThyssenKrupp AG will, nor negotiate an incentive package worth $811 million. But an expansion into the US may be a good business decision for your company. Call on Jackson Productivity Research Inc. to be your US site search consultant, to help find the best facility location, to maximize the operating benefits and minimize the costs while keeping the search confidential.
The following topics are important for most new facilities, whether manufacturing, administration, technical, or distribution. JPR can assist your company to evaluate them in early site search, then create a short list and select the final choice. Click each left box for more information.

|
Each company is different, with different objectives, costs, markets, preferences, operating characteristics, logistics. Management defines site criteria, then JPR can locate the US site that fits best. |
|
|
|
Costs for land, construction, utilities, labor, taxes, transportation, and administration vary by location, but JPR can quantify and compare those costs in advance. |
|

|
"States like Alabama have clamoured to attract foreign investors" according to the Forbes article on ThyssenKrupp. The major incentives are reserved for the major investments, I can assure you. But smaller companies will also be welcomed not only by states, but also by communities and suppliers. |
|
|
|
In the news are reports of foreign-made product recalls, and lawsuits, because of inappropriate material use; in recent history were massive Asian shutdowns for health or political reasons. Don't let a short-term cost saving destroy your long term business. |
|
Characteristics of a company who could benefit from a US expansion |
|
Large companies and small can benefit from an expansion into a strong market for their products, and to be close to suppliers or a good employee base. |
|
|
|
A primary reason for a site choice is quality of life, which appeals to employees as well as executives. Favorable QOL is in the eye of the beholder, but a community's living characteristics can be evaluated just as well as its business structure. |
|
|
|
It is very important to maintain confidentiality, especially during the evaluation stage. A company has the most leverage with property costs and incentives before it identifies itself. |
|
|
Site search projects vary, but they will usually follow a common sequence of evaluation of options. |
Success in international site search is easier with experienced, objective, confidential assistance in the destination country. JPR does not work for communities or states, to avoid conflict of interest. Our objective is to find the most satisfactory solution for our clients, now and in the future.
Should your company even consider another location? JPR offers a quick and objective way to find out.
JPR can conduct a working session with your executives. We relate today's site-sensitive costs in selected U. S. communities to your particular financial considerations, to indicate quickly and objectively if another location might be justified, and if so where.
Please contact Jack Greene to discuss your situation and possible actions. There is no obligation for discussions or proposals.
