Esco Global Strategies operates across three cross-border markets: originating mandates from the Middle East and Europe, anchoring manufacturing operations in the Dominican Republic through free zones under Law 8-90, and delivering products duty-free to U.S. destination markets via CAFTA-DR. This tri-corridor model connects capital, manufacturing, and market access across the Americas, Middle East, and Europe through the Caribbean Economic Corridor.

Markets

The Corridor EGS Operates Across

EGS connects companies, capital, and governments across three strategic regions: the Middle East and Europe, Latin America with primary focus on the Dominican Republic, and the United States. This is not a geographic limitation – it is a deliberate operating corridor built around where the most significant nearshoring and capital deployment opportunities exist today.

Origin

Middle East & Europe

Israel, the Gulf, and European markets represent a significant source of industrial companies, institutional capital, and manufacturing expertise actively seeking U.S.-aligned expansion pathways. EGS originates mandates and capital from these markets and structures their entry into the Americas.

Anchor

Latin America – Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic is the primary anchor of the EGS operating model. CAFTA-DR provides direct U.S. market access. Free zone infrastructure delivers near-zero tax environments, established manufacturing ecosystems, and 2-4 day shipping to the U.S. eastern seaboard. ProDominicana and CNZFE provide the institutional framework for structured market entry.

Destination

United States

The U.S. market is the commercial destination for most mandates EGS structures. Whether through nearshoring into free zones, capital deployment by U.S.-facing funds, or manufacturing relocation strategies for U.S.-bound production – every pathway EGS designs terminates in real access to the U.S. market.

Why the Dominican Republic

The most efficient nearshoring gateway into the U.S. market in the Western Hemisphere.

Duty-free access to the U.S. market for qualifying manufactured goods under the Central America-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement.

Free Zone Infrastructure

Near-zero tax environment, 100% foreign ownership, full profit repatriation, and established industrial parks with existing utilities and workforce.

Logistics Advantage

2-4 day shipping to U.S. east coast ports. Proximity eliminates the supply chain vulnerabilities associated with Asia-based manufacturing.
