"Over the past year, we have seen a significant rise in the
number of U.S. firms seeking to expand their international business
presence”,
notes Keith W. Rabin, President of KWR International, Inc. “We
believe this is reflective of the potential growth and efficiencies
that can be achieved through greater involvement in Asia and other
emerging and foreign markets as well the need to obtain global
scale and diversification in a more uncertain economic environment.”
"Businesses today are finding that international expansion
requires a more complex structure of facilities, alliances and
relationships
around the world” comments Karim Khan, Editor in Chief, Business
Facilities Magazine. “We are working with KWR International
to undertake this research to better understand the motivations
and issues that underlie efforts by U.S. companies to realize the
benefits an effective international business expansion can offer.”
