If you want to save labor and/or raw materials on your current manufacturing needs, then maybe you should start thinking about offshore manufacturing. Offshore manufacturing is assembly or full manufacturing in a country where labor and/or raw materials are cheaper, for export and/or eventual import into the manufacturer’s home country. The best place or country to do offshore manufacturing, if you are a US based company is, of course, Mexico. Doing it somewhere else would incur more shipping cost than manufacturing closer to customers and suppliers. In addition to the cost paid to the shipper itself, there are also costs of shipping insurance and other costs for fees, permits, duties, tariffs, compliance with import/export restrictions, and so forth.

This is not a difficult endeavor at all, if there is some help and particularly if you know the Entrada Group. The Entrada’s offshore Mexico manufacturing solution can help you focus on your company’s growth. While Entrada partners with mexico manufacturers and your manufacturing team to create an offshore manufacturing operation in Mexico that you control and Entrada supports. It is a great arrangement.
