Trade relations between Mexico and the United States have always been strong. But speaking specifically of the manufacturing sector, highly profitable business opportunities are virtually guaranteed.
On one hand, production costs are considerably lower, as is labor, although with the same quality and competence as in the North American region. On the other, the geographical and space conditions of border cities, such as Tijuana, create the ideal atmosphere for establishing large manufacturing plants without the complications of working in Asia. Distance, shipping, lead times, time zone, and language, to mention a few, are not a barrier.
We can continue to boast of the strong reasons why Mexico is a prime destination compared to other countries that for years led the market, but success stories speak for themselves.
What US companies manufacture in Mexico? Here, we will discuss some successful companies that have obtained excellent results over the years, specifically in Tijuana.
