Gateway to All Markets
We provide an experienced and effective platform for companies to bring products to the UK, European and worldwide markets through ourselves.
The UK is an excellent gateway into Europe and an ideal place for warehousing and logistics for any US company due to the close trade links between the US and UK. Whilst Brexit may slow down the process of getting US companies goods into Europe, it is likely it will still be quicker than shipping directly from the US into each member country of the European Union.
Orthomotion is also able to assist in establishing a distribution chain across major strategic international markets outside the US, and where necessary, we are able to offer assistance in the process of CE mark accreditation. MHRA registration and UK Responsible Person Appointment. Equally we can advise international companies seeking to find US partners to guide them through the FDA clearance process allowing them to sell in the US. Following FDA approval, we can assist in developing a national US sales and distribution network.
