They deliver results

When the City of Surprise wanted to expand its investment attraction pipeline, we interviewed several firms. LinkwayFDI, led by Bruce and his team, had a strong reputation in the industry and stood out to us because they genuinely wanted to help us meet our objectives. They offered quality data analytics, personalized service, and we used their FDI365 software for a year. We were very happy with the leads generated and even hired them to assist with appointment setting for our sales missions. During a recent mission to Canada, LinkwayFDI provided us with a well-organized meeting schedule and thorough briefing, making each meeting impactful. The Surprise team considers LinkwayFDI vital to our business attraction strategy because they genuinely care about providing value and consistently deliver results.

More qualified leads

We began working with LinkwayFDI for industrial recruitment assistance after trying nearly every agency out there.LinkwayFDI not only provided more qualified leads, but they were also true partners in our efforts. In late 2017, they set up a meeting for our staff with Dajcor Aluminum in Chatham, Ontario. This initial meeting led to the eventual location of Dajcor’s first manufacturing facility in the United States within the One East Kentucky region. Their project will create 265 new jobs and invest more than $19 Million in Hazard, Kentucky while also being an attractor of additional supply chain companies. Bruce and his team are the best at what they do.
