Manufacturing Industry

Workforce mobility in the manufacturing industry has been hit by twin crises—the COVID-19 pandemic and Brexit—and by the economic turmoil caused by both.

Novel immigration challenges abound, including an unexpected need for short-term travel solutions; for astronomical speed-to-ground; and for the nimble movement of large teams at a moment’s notice. Fragomen possesses the global scope and industry experience to meet these needs.

Most important: Our processes have been rigorously tested in the sector for more than twenty years, by some of the largest manufacturers in the world. In an unpredictable world, we offer our clients stability and strategies to resolve employment gaps.

Because we get immigration right, our clients don’t have to waste time identifying inefficiencies or managing errors—they can spend their valuable time doing their jobs.

Clients value us for:

Creative short-term travel solutions

The unexpected forces working on the industry demand creative responses, particularly driving up the need for flexible short-term travel. In response to pockets of unemployment and quarantine travel restrictions, we’ve developed solutions for clients involving seasonal work programs in the United States, posted workers in the European Union, and employees in the United Kingdom who require new work permits for employment across the Channel.

Ruthless focus on compliance

Fragomen’s technology platform automates the firm’s unparalleled bank of travel knowledge, providing fast and accurate answers about exactly which travel permissions employees require.

In a world where the global economic downturn is inspiring protectionist behaviors and tightened enforcement, our technology and experience help clients avoid the negative monetary and legal consequences of failed compliance. We are especially attentive to the compliance issues and risks presented by migrant and low-skilled members of the manufacturing workforce.

Global competence

Business immigration policy and infrastructure varies widely in complexity, technological integration and maturity from region to region. With support for more than 170 jurisdictions, we are able to provide accurate and timely advice regarding moves between nearly every jurisdiction in the world where manufacturing takes place.
