Territorial Representation
Since 1991, we are specialised in operational support and international representation of French, European, North-American and now worldwide companies of all sizes from SMEs to multinationals from all sectors. They work with the support of our worldwide team to increase their international sales, facilitate their establishment and secure their daily operations. Each year, there are more than 1,000 transactions involving contractual negotiations, establishment of subsidiaries, industrial sites set-up and acquisitions. We also assisted them with debt collection and managed their recruitment needs.
We believe that the ultimate step in the international development of a company is through its local presence in a target territory. This enables to get closer to its market, its teams and gain competitiveness to create growth. Thanks to our expertise and global outreach, many territories, cities, industrial parks, regions or states choose us for their territorial representation. We structure their marketing strategy, enhance their visibility and their attractiveness in order to expand their companies and to promote new Foreign Direct Investors which will create jobs and boost their economies.
