Mexico Manufacturing 101: How to develop a Successful Manufacturing Strategy – Uptime Logistics

On this episode of Uptime Logistics, Doug Draper of the Denver Transportation Club interviews Veronica Contreras, President of Zavero Consulting, Inc.

Doug introduces Veronica and they dive in to discuss the trends, considerations, opportunities and pathways of manufacturing in Mexico. Veronica’s company helps US Manufacturers that are in the process of evaluating whether or not they want to set up a factory in Mexico. She generally works with the owners or CEOs, CFOs, and presidents to help them gather all the information they need to decide if it makes good business sense to move their supply chain to Mexico.

This helpful information can include financial analyses, major steps in the process, and projected timelines. She also explains what a “shelter” company is in the context of the maquiladora program. This allows US manufacturers to partner with Mexican factories in a very short period of time, becoming fully operational as quickly as 2-3 months. The shelter company provides liability protection for the US manufacturer as they take responsibility. This type of program can have favorable trade agreement benefits.
