Lower Costs
Many companies save 40-50% on labor alone when they move operations to Mexico. They also save money on overhead costs like real estate and utilities, and thanks to Mexico’s IMMEX / Maquiladora program, see significant tax savings. By operating under a shelter, they also save on outside consulting fees and administrative costs.
Minimize Risks
The shelter program is a huge reason why Mexico manufacturing is so enticing. By operating under a shelter, companies are able to operate in Mexico with virtually no legal risk. The shelter provider is responsible for getting and maintaining all the permits and licenses and ensuring that the company is in compliance with Mexican laws.
Benefit from a skilled workforce
Over 110,000 engineers graduate from Mexican universities and technical schools each year. Companies are able to do much more than simple manufacturing or basic assembly—many conduct R&D and design new products and systems in Mexico.
Get high quality & on-time delivery
Mexico manufacturing has become known for producing quality goods in highly technical industries. The country also has some of the world’s most active border crossings and international transportation options. Many companies choose to manufacture in border cities like Tijuana, Tecate, Mexicali, Nogales, Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, and Monterrey to ensure fast delivery of finished products.
Keep operations close to home
Aside from cost savings, one of the main advantages of manufacturing in Mexico is its proximity to the U.S. It’s easy to fly (or even drive) in to visit facilities. Communication is simpler since the Mexican facility is in the same time zone as corporate headquarters (or at most three hours difference).
