Committed to Promoting Foreign Direct Investment

 

Over the last five years, more than 60% of Gray’s manufacturing projects have been delivered for international companies establishing or expanding operations in the United States. Our team has extensive experience partnering with North American, South American, European, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese companies seeking to enter the world’s largest consumer market.

 

Gray’s FDI expertise spans the full lifecycle of business investment. We support companies from early-stage market entry strategy and site selection through real estate development and land acquisition. With a strong network of regional and local trade partners and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), we help our customers navigate the complexities of the industrial regulatory landscape as well as variances across federal, state, and local laws.. From there, our integrated teams develop fully integrated design, engineering, construction, and automation solutions to bring facilities online efficiently and strategically.

 

At every stage, we work to help investment deals proceed smoothly and with our customers’ full confidence—positioning international companies for long-term growth and success in the U.S. market.
