Why Manufacturing in Mexico?

2009-09-22T15:54:00.000-07:00

1. Strategic geographic location: Mexico is an ideal location for manufacturing industries looking for the implementation of “just-in-time” systems in North America, allowing cost reduction in transportation and inventories..

2. Free trade agreements: Mexico is becoming a global trade hub for business development, thanks to the extensive network the country has established through different trade agreements signed with the U.S. and Canada, eight Latin American countries and the Mercosur region, nineteen European countries, Israel and Japan.

3. Manufacturing integration: Mexico has plenty of world-class production facilities, which are part of an emerging industrial support chain in North America for high added value industries such as automotive, aerospace, electric-electronic, metal-mechanic, food processing, chemical and pharmaceutical.

4. Logistics: Mexico’s continuous investment in its highway network, inter-modal corridors, distribution centers, border crossings, rail and seaport infrastructure allows companies to improve the delivery time of raw materials and supplies to their plants and of finished product to end customers.

5. Stable macroeconomic indicators: Thanks to a strict fiscal and monetary discipline, during the past eight years Mexico has achieved a controlled inflation rate, declining interest rates and a stable exchange rate, becoming a profitable market for direct and indirect investments. The international market has recognized these efforts through the investment grade given to Mexico by the main international rating firms, as well as by the systematical reduction of the country-risk level.

6. Mature consumer market: Mexico represents a potential consumer base of 100 million people whose average yearly income continues to steadily rise, as does their demand for more sophisticated consumer products.

7. Skilled work force: Mexico has experienced engineers, technicians and supervisors, and 60% of its total population is under age 35. Local governments subsidize training courses to improve the technical abilities of the future workers that will be hired by new facilities. There is also the possibility to synchronize domestic educational programs with industries’ requirements.

8. Export Promotion Programs: Under the different temporary duty-free import programs, such as the maquiladoras or the pitex among others, a company can operate under a special customs regime, facilitating the access of all import production-related machinery, equipment, materials and components for the manufacturing of end export products. Other incentives programs offer tax benefits for high added value projects and for research and development activities.

9. Telecommunications: Mexico offers a highly developed telecommunications network, including domestic and international fiber optic and satellite systems, allowing businesses to be well connected both nationally and globally. These services are provided by worldwide recognized telecommunications private companies.

10. Legal certainty for intellectual property: Mexico offers legal certainty for the protection of industrial rights, such as patents, utility models, industrial designs and secrets, trademarks and copyrights, through the Industrial Property Law and the Mexican Institute for Industrial Property.
