Sector Overview

WONE in
Manufacturing & Industrial.

Manufacturing has become the most globally distributed sector in the economy — R&D in one jurisdiction, raw material sourcing in a second, manufacturing in a third, and sales to markets in ten more. The professional services requirements span trade compliance, transfer pricing on intercompany goods flows, employment law for manufacturing workforces across multiple countries, and regulatory compliance in every market where products are sold.

WONE's manufacturing practice combines supply chain tax expertise — particularly transfer pricing on intercompany goods flows — with the cross-border legal and regulatory knowledge that industrial businesses need as they diversify production away from single-country concentration. WONE's strength in Southeast Asia and Africa is particularly relevant as manufacturing businesses explore Vietnam, Indonesia, Ethiopia, and Morocco as production locations.

01
Transfer pricing on intercompany goods flows — documentation and defence
Manufacturing groups with intercompany supply chains face transfer pricing scrutiny on every intercompany transaction — raw materials, semi-finished goods, finished products, and royalties on IP embedded in products. Documentation must be contemporaneous and defensible in every jurisdiction.
02
Trade compliance — tariffs, customs, and export controls
Manufacturing businesses crossing borders face tariff classification decisions, customs valuation questions, rules of origin requirements, and export control obligations — each jurisdiction with its own compliance framework and enforcement approach.
03
Employment law for manufacturing workforces — collective bargaining and restructuring
Manufacturing groups with large workforces in multiple jurisdictions face employment law obligations that differ significantly — collective bargaining frameworks, minimum wage requirements, working time regulations, and restructuring obligations that vary across every operating country.
04
Supply chain diversification — legal and tax implications of moving production
Businesses moving manufacturing from China to Vietnam, from Turkey to Morocco, or from Eastern to Western Europe face legal entity structuring, employment law, tax efficiency analysis, and regulatory approval requirements in both the origin and destination jurisdictions.
