This week we’re continuing our infographic series on The Benefits of Nearshoring. We’re focusing more on Mexico and how efforts in both infrastructure have affected how it has developed in recent times. We’ve also taken a look at how the auto industry is ripe for a nearshoring move for American companies.
Mexico and Nearshoring Mexico has set itself up to being in a good position for the main nearshoring or reshoring target for companies in North and South America, but especially the United States. Companies in the US are in a perfect position, depending on the industry and logistics needs, as Mexico offers an attractive location and cost (due to China’s rising wages) but also more control over manufacturing & delivery schedules when compared to supply chain and logistics operations overseas.
Mexico and the Automotive Industry Major automotive manufacturers, such as Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors (GM) have already been operating in Mexico since the 1930s. These companies have spearheaded the nearshoring move in the auto industry and other companies like Toyota, Nissan, Honda, BMW, Volkswagen, and Mercedes Benz have followed suit .
Check out our infographic below to see how Mexico is continuing its trend towards being a very real consideration for American manufacturers looking to optimize their supply chain while cutting costs.
