Why Manufacturing in Mexico should be your first option

If you are currently manufacturing or sourcing your products in China, and selling to the United States or Canada, you might want to think about manufacturing in Mexico.

There are several advantages to moving your production to Mexico, including:


1. Proximity to the United States - which means decreased transportation costs

2. Lower labor costs overall

3. Access to highly skilled workers - many who speak English

4. The majority of Mexico is on Central Standard Time, which enables you to get things done the same day, instead of the waiting a day for your Chinese manufacturer to respond.

5. Faster turnaround time

Mexico is home to manufacturing for many important companies – Whirlpool, Samsung, Victoria’s Secret, Callaway Golf, Volkswagen, just to name a few. Did you know that the majority of TVs sold in the US are actually manufactured in Tijuana, Mexico (over 20 million!)?

Manufacturing in Mexico is a great choice for companies of all sizes. Whether you are just starting out and need someone to help build a prototype of your product, or you are a well established multi-national, Mexico can cover all your needs.

Mazda to possibly build plant in Mexico

In automotive news, Mazda plans on building a plant in an emerging market to meet demands for global car sales.


Mazda is looking at several sites in Mexico, but no location has been confirmed as of yet.


The plant in Mexico would serve the Central and South American markets and would host production of smaller models.

Manufacturing Coming Back to Mexico

Recently I've come across several articles that discuss how many American companies are bringing their manufacturing BACK to Mexico from Asia.  While many people considered China to be the lowest cost option for their manufacturing needs, China has now surpassed Mexico in terms of manufacturing affordability.

One of the great advantages that Mexico has over China when it comes to outsourcing is its proximity to the US.  Need an emergency shipment?  Your goods can be flown in within a couple of hours.  Another huge advantage are that the US and Mexico share the same time zones.  Most of Mexico is on Central time, which makes working with both coasts very easy.  When you are under tight deadlines, having to stay up late or wait an entire day for a response can break you.
