Why More U.S. Companies Choose Mexico for Manufacturing — and How a Sourcing Specialist Can Make the Difference
🧭 The Shift from “Made in China” to “Made in Mexico”

Over the past few years, companies across North America have been rethinking their supply chains. Rising freight costs, tariffs, and long lead times from Asia have pushed many purchasing managers to explore manufacturing in Mexico.

The advantages are clear:
✅ Lower logistics costs
✅ USMCA benefits
✅ Cultural and time zone proximity

However, finding the right supplier can be challenging — from language barriers to inconsistent quality standards.

That’s where Nearshore Mexico Sourcing comes in.

📊 Price and capability benchmarking

🏭 Factory audits and sample coordination

📐 Technical and quality evaluations
