Fragomen has grown and prospered alongside our clients in the Consumer Products industry. We’ve served many of the largest companies in the sector for more than three decades—a depth of experience and familiarity unrivaled in the immigration sphere.
Consumer product enterprises of every size rely on us for:
Reliable, predictable, uniform service
Because our clients include some of the largest consumer products companies in the world, we’ve built an immigration services infrastructure that can handle a high volume of cases quickly, accurately, and predictably. While our services are always customized to accommodate the latest developments in any jurisdiction, our centralized global model has been streamlined by years of practical experience and unmatched technological support.
Stellar service at any scale
Smaller companies and new entrants to the field reap the benefits of our tried-and-tested approach, enjoying the efficient, high-quality services often reserved by other firms for larger, legacy clients.
Global connections
Most consumer product companies have global ambitions that depend on uniform operations across jurisdictions. Providing services in more than 170 countries where we share uniform practices, technology, and culture, we manage complex employee moves between multiple regions in a consistent and secure fashion—reducing surprises and maintaining a high-quality user experience.
Invaluable strategic advice
An exciting business opportunity in a new jurisdiction may involve unseen immigration challenges. We serve as trusted business advisors, identifying risks and barriers to the enterprise. Clients rely on us to understand the immigration landscape in a new or unfamiliar environment before they set up a new facility or launch a venture that relies on local talent.
Trusted analysis
Is the country the client is operating in tightening immigration quotas? Demanding more stringent checks on educational qualifications? Are local COVID restrictions easing up, or bearing down? Regulatory choices worldwide affect our clients’ immigration programs–and their business. We have access to vast amounts of up-to-the-moment industry data, and the experience to understand what emerging trends mean for our clients.
Mobility leadership
As a recognized leader in the mobility industry, we have developed strong relationships with other mobility providers. Our in-house technologists can integrate our clients’ personal and milestone data seamlessly between tax and relocation providers, creating a unified, high-quality employee experience. We are proud members of ERC, SHRM, and other industry associations, and work to draw mobility companies into closer and more productive collaboration for the benefit of our clients.
