Oakland Park, FL -- (SBWire) -- 01/13/2017 --Manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler recently discussed how the manufacturing industry continues to grow and many companies are looking for economically efficient solutions to manufacture products. Cutler reported in AutomationMedia.com, that the trend over previous years has been US companies transferring the manufacture of their product overseas. But the cost of shipping, changes in political and economic environments, difficulty of doing business and the changes in the US consumer demands often outweigh the price of manufacturing. Now, several companies are choosing to manufacture their products at a nearshore location that is both close in proximity to the United States and more cost-effective in a total cost analysis: Mexico.

In the manufacturing industry, Mexico has an edge that several countries do not have, and that is the Maquiladora. The Maquiladora program was structured to allow foreign companies, primarily US, to set up a manufacturing operation utilizing tariff agreements between the United States and Mexico. It consists of a manufacturing plant that is based in Mexico, typically close to the Mexico-U.S. border, and is run by a U.S. company.
