Our Lasting Impact
Global Location Strategies was initially formed in the 1970s within Fluor Corporation, a Fortune 500 engineering and construction firm, at their Greenville, South Carolina office.
In 2009, Global Location Strategies was outsourced from Fluor with Didi Caldwell at the helm. Since that time, GLS has grown from two employees to over 20 with more than 100 years of cumulative site location and economic development experience.
Today, GLS is recognized as a trusted source for site selection and incentive negotiations, economic development consulting, bespoke industry insights, and site selection technology platforms.
Proven Results
GLS has supported both foreign and domestic clients with location advisory and incentive negotiations for their new, expanding, or relocating operations.
