Manufacturing Coming Back to Mexico

Recently I've come across several articles that discuss how many American companies are bringing their manufacturing BACK to Mexico from Asia.  While many people considered China to be the lowest cost option for their manufacturing needs, China has now surpassed Mexico in terms of manufacturing affordability.

One of the great advantages that Mexico has over China when it comes to outsourcing is its proximity to the US.  Need an emergency shipment?  Your goods can be flown in within a couple of hours.  Another huge advantage are that the US and Mexico share the same time zones.  Most of Mexico is on Central time, which makes working with both coasts very easy.  When you are under tight deadlines, having to stay up late or wait an entire day for a response can break you.
