Why Manufacturing in Mexico should be your first option

If you are currently manufacturing or sourcing your products in China, and selling to the United States or Canada, you might want to think about manufacturing in Mexico.

There are several advantages to moving your production to Mexico, including:


1. Proximity to the United States - which means decreased transportation costs

2. Lower labor costs overall

3. Access to highly skilled workers - many who speak English

4. The majority of Mexico is on Central Standard Time, which enables you to get things done the same day, instead of the waiting a day for your Chinese manufacturer to respond.

5. Faster turnaround time

Mexico is home to manufacturing for many important companies – Whirlpool, Samsung, Victoria’s Secret, Callaway Golf, Volkswagen, just to name a few. Did you know that the majority of TVs sold in the US are actually manufactured in Tijuana, Mexico (over 20 million!)?

Manufacturing in Mexico is a great choice for companies of all sizes. Whether you are just starting out and need someone to help build a prototype of your product, or you are a well established multi-national, Mexico can cover all your needs.

Mexican Business Etiquette: Tipping

One of the main topics people search for when traveling abroad for work or pleasure is tipping. 

In Mexico, a standard tip is 10%.  This makes figuring out the tip very easy.  If the service is excellent, or you are in a very nice restaurant, the average tip is around 15%. 

What's expected can vary from city to city - for example, most people in Mexico City normally tip slightly higher than 10%, while in Guadalajara it doesn't matter where you are, everyone tips 10%.

If you are in a resort town or at a hotel, check your bill carefully to see if the tip (propina in Spanish) has already been added. 

For people from countries who aren't accostumed to tipping at all (some European countries), you must realize that waitstaff in Mexico does not make a decent hourly wage, so they count on tips as part of their salary.  If you receive terrible service, complain to the manager of the restaurant. 

Mazda to possibly build plant in Mexico

Mazda is looking at several sites in Mexico, but no location has been confirmed as of yet.


The plant in Mexico would serve the Central and South American markets and would host production of smaller models.
