As the world’s 13th largest economy and 2nd largest trade partner with the United States, companies from the Aerospace, Medical Device, Automotive, Electronics, Consumer Products, Renewable Energy, Industrial, Metal Mechanics and many other industries are manufacturing in Mexico to lower their costs and remain globally competitive. With 2,500 institutions of higher learning, 900 universities, a population of 115 million and a median age of 27 years old, labor in Mexico is abundant, diversified and able to accommodate virtually all business needs.

What truly makes manufacturing in Mexico an attractive solution, however, is the Maquiladora (IMMEX program) industry and its more than 60-year history. This “foreign investment” program combined with more than 44 free trade treaties and agreements with countries around the world, most importantly the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with the United States and Canada, will continue to fuel the manufacturing in Mexico revolution for many years to come.
