If your company has already narrowed down the search to a specific city in Mexico we identify all location possibilities including raw land to improve, land with existing infrastructure to construct a facility, existing available buildings, and build to suit for lease opportunities.
Then we compare costs, timing, logistic considerations, labor proximity, utility infrastructure costs & timing, environmental considerations and other city and site-specific factors to enable an informed site decision for your manufacturing startup or expansion in Mexico.
If your company is focusing on a specific city please connect with us to discuss how our Site Selection Consulting services can help identify opportunities and avoid the pitfalls commonly encountered by foreign companies entering Mexico:
All services include confidential (if that is your preference) tours of candidate cities, potential sites, and if appropriate, interviews with local plant managers, developers, relevant government officials and such other information gathering as might best serve our client. We also are often asked to put together a broad tour of Mexican industrial cities to give foreign manufacturing executives an on-the-ground 'feel' for what is possible in Mexico's manufacturing arena.
