Support of the Industry Associations

In cooperation with the presidents of the various branches of the industry associations, GATA provides custom-made solutions for the member corporations re the entry to the U.S. market. Most recently, we started with the automotive and the medical industry. Generally, we take the initiative ourselves and contact the association’s president. Such contact follows extensive preliminary product research, and includes both marketing opportunities and product liability risks. In most sections of the industry, the entry package for the U.S. market includes the following measures

-         
Initial market research
-         
Formation of a limited liability company
-         
Establishment of distribution channels
-         
Trade show participation
-         
Trademark registration
-         
Provision of a U.S. office with saff
-         
Product liability adjustments
-         
6-months sales follow-up
-         
Insurance coverage

 It is the objective to enable the companies to enter the U.S. market within 6 to 9 months and to offer a fixed price for all services and fees.

The cooperation with the industry associations is supplemented by a management work shop that addresses the above issues. This half day seminar is traditionally being held at the place where the association maintains its principal place of business.
