International companies trust ARCO as their EPC partner (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) to navigate U.S. facility development from day one.
With extensive experience supporting Korean companies expanding into the United States, we work closely with clients to develop industrial, manufacturing, and distribution facilities with confidence.
Foreign Direct Investment
You’re Planning a U.S. Facility. So Is Your Competition. Half of Them Will Fail.
Not because of construction issues—but because of critical decisions made long before breaking ground.
Here’s what actually happens:
- A company secures millions in tax incentives, only to discover their legal structure makes them ineligible
- Another selects a site, then learns it cannot support required power or infrastructure
- A third relies on international advisors unfamiliar with U.S. regulations, creating costly tax exposure
These are not construction failures. They are planning and coordination failures across engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) phases—adding months of delays and millions in avoidable costs.
After delivering hundreds of international projects, we understand how interconnected early decisions are. Through our EPC approach, we help align strategy across site selection, legal, tax, and facility planning—ensuring your project is positioned for success from day one.
Every decision you make today—your advisors, your site, your entity structure—directly impacts your ability to execute tomorrow.
Questions That Determine Success or Failure:
- Will your negotiated incentives remain valid after entity formation?
- Can your selected site support your manufacturing process and utility demands?
- Do your legal and tax advisors understand U.S. regulatory and industry-specific requirements?
- Are your consultants aligned, or operating in silos?
If you’re unsure of any of these answers, your project is already at risk.

Why ARCO Projects Succeed
Every international project comes with its own complexities. A Korean battery manufacturer expanding into the U.S. faces very different regulatory, logistical, and technical challenges than a German automotive supplier or global pharma brand.
ARCO understands those differences because we’ve lived them, partnering with companies across dozens of industries and regions to turn ambitious plans into operational facilities.
What sets us apart isn’t just construction expertise – it’s the way we connect every piece of the process. From concept through completion, one accountable team oversees your project, anticipating challenges before they surface and aligning design, cost, and delivery from the very beginning.
That’s why our clients don’t just complete their U.S. projects – they win with them.
Start Where You Are. We’ll Get You Where You Need to Be.
Whether you’re just exploring the U.S. market or ready to break ground, one conversation with us can identify your hidden risks.
