Axis Atlantic delivers cross-border growth strategy for companies entering the U.S. from Latin America and the Caribbean, and for U.S. companies expanding south. Every engagement begins with a free assessment and ends with an actionable road map.
"Strategy first. Every engagement starts with a road map, not a retainer."
Axis Atlantic LLC is an Atlanta-based international business strategy firm specializing in U.S. market entry, soft landing, nearshoring advisory, and foreign manufacturer representation before federal and private entities across all 50 U.S. states.
Led by Hernando Galindo, with over 20 years of direct experience helping foreign manufacturers fulfill their U.S. compliance obligations, navigate federal agency requirements, and build sustainable commercial presence — the firm brings institutional-grade knowledge that no directory or algorithm can replicate.
Every engagement starts with a free assessment. From there, we build a structured road map — from market intelligence and validation to execution and representation — tailored to your sector, budget, and timeline.
We start with a free assessment of your product, pricing, and readiness. The deliverable is a custom Market Entry Road Map: target channels, competitive positioning, regulatory requirements, and a phased action plan.
Foreign manufacturers selling or importing into the U.S. are legally required to designate a U.S.-based compliance agent before federal agencies such as NHTSA, FDA, EPA, and CBP. We fulfill that obligation on your behalf — managing registrations, filings, regulatory correspondence, and ongoing compliance requirements so you can operate in the U.S. market without interruption.
Sector-specific research on pricing benchmarks, buyer behavior, demand trends, and competitive landscape across the the U.S. and Latin America. Intelligence that feeds directly into your road map and prevents costly missteps.
For companies establishing operations in the U.S. or leveraging nearshoring strategies between the U.S., Mexico, and Latin America — we provide the local presence, legal and operational guidance, and network connections to land efficiently and scale without unnecessary risk.
We design and execute internationalization programs for chambers of commerce, trade promotion agencies, and economic development institutions — connecting their member companies with qualified buyers, distributors, and strategic partners in the U.S. market.
Distribution strategy is the final stage of your market entry road map. Once validated, we identify, qualify, and develop the right distribution channels — regional, national, or sector-specific — and support the negotiation and activation of first agreements.
Every engagement starts here — no cost, no commitment. We evaluate your product, pricing, regulatory readiness, and market fit before recommending any path forward.
In-depth research on your target channels, competitive landscape, buyer profiles, regulatory requirements, and demand signals across the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean.
We test assumptions with real market contacts — buyers, distributors, regulatory bodies — before committing your resources. Strategy informed by data, not guesswork.
The final deliverable: a custom, actionable Market Entry Road Map with phased steps, timelines, channel recommendations, and regulatory requirements specific to your business.
