Exporting to Asia:

Export-ability

Export sales contribute added revenue, but more importantly, diversifies your revenue flow to stabilize your company during the peaks and valleys of the US economy.  Not all companies, products and services will be suitable for export to Asia.  If your company is involved in the following areas, it may wise to explore export potential.

Component Parts Manufacturers:   

  • 80% of the Fortune 500 companies have factories in Asia for final-assembly of their finished products.  If your company supplies value added component parts, chances are that your customers need your products for their own production.  Follow your customers or risk losing them.
  • If your products are market leading, chances are that local Asian companies will also be interested in purchasing them to add value to their finished products.  Intellectual & technology property safeguards are a concern, but Global Connecticut can help you with strategies to mitigate these risks.

Lifestyle Products:

  • As part of their industrial revolution, China has the fastest growing middle class in the world.    Most Chinese are fascinated by the American lifestyle and want to emulate it.  Simply by your products being associated with America, it makes them the most desirable to China’s growing middle class.

Services:

  • Your company may provide services that you take for granted as just a part of your day to day operations.  However, remember, that America leads the world in service related industries.   These skills and systems have value and can be exported.  Global Connecticut can help you evaluate whether your services are marketable in China and how to retain and compete in that market.

Manufacturing in China:

80% of something is better than 100% of nothing

No one wants to sacrifice their American manufacturing operations for production in China.   However, it may not be an ‘all or nothing’ issue …..

  • Depending on your products or services, there may be certain low margin/lower added value products which can be out-sourced.  By controlling the manufacturing of these products in China, via either a wholly owned, joint venture or strategic alliance, you maintain control and equity in your business.
  • 3rd party out-sourcing of component parts and raw materials can be an immediate solution, but should be only the first step in an ongoing strategy for your company to control its own manufacturing/distribution channels.
  • Private Labeling / OEM may be another strategy that will bring increased sales revenue to your company by tiered pricing and good/better/best branding.

Global Connecticut can help you make immediate OEM manufacturing connections with a goal towards retaining ultimate control while limiting investment cost and maximizing future equity.

Strategic Growth:

Global Growth = Company Value Growth

Nothing will build the value of your business quicker than expansion.  With the ‘world getting smaller’, it is increasingly critical that your business expands globally. 

Think for yourself, how would you assess the valuations of two companies ?  ….  
one with only U.S. contacts and the other with international sources and markets.
