The purpose for opening a distribution or production site abroad is often the proximity to key customers or the tapping of new markets. Many companies take this step into consideration.  

However, it is all too seldom that pivotal and costly site location decisions are made after weighing all the pertinent issues. It thus comes as no surprise that the success promised by offshoring does not always materialise.    

In addition to strategic issues, the search for and purchase and financing of suitable foreign properties is not free of pitfalls: language, expert opinions, contract law, incidental expenses and follow-up costs etc., must also be taken into account.
