English term

Swiss Principal

English to Spanish Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
"Establishing a Swiss Principal was part of the Regional Optimization program and was necessary for X company to streamline its supply chain and to improve customer service."

'''
The Swiss Principal model has become an effective means to optimize the structure of multinational companies on a regional basis, maximizing efficiencies by restructuring EMEA-area procurement, distribution and sales activities around a “Swiss Principal” company, which becomes the counterparty to the company’s vendors and customers. The Swiss Principal structure takes advantage of Switzerland’s favorable tax rates and advance tax rulings, business-friendly environment, advanced body of commercial law that provides certainty in strategic planning, banking center status, low tax rates, central location in the heart of Europe (combined with independence from the European Union regulatory overlay and European monetary union), and federal cantonal structure, all of which have contributed to the increasing popularity of Swiss Principal structures. Asia Principal structures are also possible, and can be included in the same restructuring.

MI INTERPRETACIÓN
Establecer un sistema empresarial basado en el modelo *Swiss Principal era parte del programa de optimización regional, y la Compañía XXX tuvo que reestructurar su cadena de distribución y mejorar el servicio al cliente.

* Swiss Principal = Modelo empresarial para reestructurar compañías multinacionales mediante la optimización local, basado en el sistema jurídico suizo.

Regarding your note, the term mentioned does not translate the meaning of "Swiss Principal". That's why my translation keeps the original term with an asterisk explaining the meaning.
Note from asker:
I took the explanation from that website, but the translation looks way too long. I wonder if "sociedad interpuesta suiza" is the right term.
