The client had orders from its clients that it was unable to fulfill at its existing capacity.
Its plants in Scotland and Italy could not be expanded, and an additional 20-line plant was critical to keep up with European demand.

UGL Equis identified the most viable countries, locations and facilities, which met the client’s requirements for Eastern European expansion.
After considering several options, the company chose to locate a new facility in Hungary.
UGL Equis prepared a detailed analysis of the available land sites over 10 acres in Hungarian Enterprise Zones.
After the client selected the most modern industrial park in northeastern Hungary, UGL Equis conducted due diligence and advised the client on the purchase of 13 acres of land.
UGL Equis also provided insights on government and municipal incentives, tax abatements, training contributions, and other benefits available at federal and local levels.
Next, we identified and interviewed general contractors/ developers, and helped the client select contractors to build a 260,000 sf facility.
