9th Annual Manufacturing Conference

Opportunity & Impact of Globalization On
Middle Market Manufacturing

Thursday, June 9, 2016
Grant Thornton, 757 Third Avenue
12:00pm - 6:00pm

With opportunities for domestic acquisitions and expansions in the United States becoming scarcer and demanding a premium, it is time to look further afield for new production capacity and markets – or to enter into relationships with foreign companies looking to expand in the States. Meanwhile, will Asian production costs and speed to market benefit North American Free Trade Zones? With the Loonie and Peso trading at steep discounts versus just two years ago, it is time to re-examine near-shoring opportunities for optimizing costs in the supply-chain.

But, with opportunity come risks. Do you know what industries are ripe for partnering and which ones are challenged? Do you have a solid understanding of the regulatory requirements and tax implications for doing business abroad? And the contractual terms and conditions with suppliers, how enforceable are they? What can you do to maximize your opportunity and returns and ensure your risk is minimized?

DISCUSSION POINTS:
• Understanding foreign rules, regulations, and tax implications – and reconciliations to their domestic counterparts

• New opportunities and challenges in the international supply-chain

• Managing bigger opportunities and bigger risks in a world of uncertainty

• The impact of cultural differences and their influence on success and failure
