Manufacturing in Mexico
More than 1000 firms now operate in Mexico where they have reduced their production costs as much as 50%. . .saving up to $20,000 – or more – per direct labor employee per year!
Members of America’s Fortune 500 and leading Japanese firms predominate in this population. But profit-conscious smaller companies have also found that under the maquiladora (twin plant) program, Mexico’s low labor cost and quality of workmanship have given them a strong competitive edge and important gains in their market share worldwide.
