Expand your manufacturing business globally
We help forward-thinking manufacturing companies to streamline systems
and boost cash flow, so they have the time and money to scale into
international markets.
AS FEATURED ON:
We help manufacturing companies scale internationally by supporting them in three key areas:
10X Strategy
Develop a robust international strategy that is 10X better than your current best thinking.
10X Momentum
Generate traction and move 10X faster into international markets than your current pace.
10X Cashflow
Increase cash in the bank by at least 10% year-on-year.
YOUR CHALLENGES
Manufacturers face unique challenges in scaling abroad
Lack of time
Manufacturing founders are often spread thin managing day-to-day business operations. You don’t have the time to dedicate to international expansion, and it feels as though things will fall apart if you’re not on the tools 100% of the time.
Lack of insights
You know you want to expand internationally to achieve scale and increase your company’s value. But you don’t have insights into which market you should target, or what the costs and opportunities of an international expansion will be.
Lack of strategy
No-one in the company is investing significant time and energy in its strategic direction. Because you’re spending so much time working in the business, you can’t zoom up to the strategic level, which is where growth happens.
Lack of resources
You don’t have the resources you need to invest in an international expansion. The company is stretched for time, team and cash and there’s nothing left over to make global growth a reality.

I had the privilege of working with Gerald during his time at Polyglot, where he brought clarity and pragmatism to complex HR and governance matters — always balancing strategic thinking with practical solutions. His professionalism and integrity made him an invaluable partner.
Later, at Forrest Contact, Gerald’s structured, results-oriented approach helped us identify and nurture high-value opportunities in a competitive market.

Partnering with Dearin & Associates completely changed the trajectory of our global expansion. Their Blueprint for International Success gave us the structure and clarity we’d been missing, helping us refine our pricing, optimise our systems, and build the right team to scale internationally. Within eight months, we secured seven distributors across Europe and generated purchase orders that more than covered our investment. We now have the confidence, strategy, and momentum to grow Redsbaby into a truly global brand.

Dearin & Associates gave us the clarity and direction we needed to expand confidently across the Asia-Pacific region. Their in-depth market analysis and actionable recommendations identified the best countries to target, outlined key pricing and distribution strategies, and removed much of the uncertainty around international growth. Thanks to their expertise, we now have a clear, prioritised roadmap for scaling Backdoor Shoes globally with focus and confidence.

Partnering with Dearin & Associates made it possible for Smart Rider to expand beyond Europe with clarity and confidence. Their data-driven approach pinpointed Australia as the ideal launch market, and within six months we had secured a partnership with the country’s leading equine retailer. Thanks to D&A’s expertise and structured process, we entered the Oceania market strategically and efficiently—laying the groundwork for continued international growth.

Dearin & Associates helped us turn our U.S. expansion from a slow start into real momentum. Their in-depth market analysis and clear, data-driven recommendations gave us the insight we needed to refine our strategy, target the right clients, and choose effective distribution channels. Within just three months of implementing their advice, we had tripled our U.S. sales and were well on the way to establishing PumpEng as a serious player in the American mining market. We were subsequently acquired by a major American firm.

Working with Dearin & Associates transformed our global expansion from a daunting idea into a clear, actionable reality. Within just a year, Survival went from exploring options to trading in 22 countries, with strong distribution partners across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The team’s data-driven strategy, hands-on support, and expert guidance through distributor negotiations gave us the structure and confidence to scale internationally — and we’re now positioned for sustained global growth.

Crawford Boots manufactures an industrial safety waterproof boot for the underground mining market. Working with Dearin & Associates has been a godsend for me, as it has helped me break things down and truly understand and appreciate the processes involved in business strategy, both domestically and internationally.

Knowing what to focus on to achieve growth was our biggest challenge. Working with Dearin & Associates gave us the clarity to build an international strategy and execute it. Before, we were overwhelmed but now we’re excited and confident at the opportunities that await us.

Ego Pharmaceuticals’ business in the Middle East represents a significant proportion of our world-wide business. As our business has grown more complex, cultural differences have had a much greater impact.
Based on a thorough situation analysis, Dearin & Associates put together a training program for Ego Pharmaceuticals across a wide range functions that have some interaction with the Middle East. This involved providing some models to explain the basis for the differences but more importantly, lots of interaction and discussion of real issues and misconceptions.
