Overview
A leading EV manufacturer was expanding into new European markets and needed to relocate a large workforce across borders. With no single partner for visas, relocation, and regulatory requirements, timelines and legal risk were at stake. We provided end-to-end global mobility and relocated 117 employees across five countries in 8 months with on-time product launch.
Client challenge
Managing cross-border moves at scale was the main bottleneck:
- Complex visa and work permit processes in multiple countries
- Varying local labor laws and compliance requirements
- Relocation timing affecting production and product launch
- Need to align talent deployment with market demand
Without a dedicated mobility partner, delays and compliance gaps would put launch and operations at risk.
