Relocating or Expanding Operations & Supply Chain From China to Vietnam and Thailand

About The Webinar

EWA Roundtable With Two Senior Executives in Vietnam and Thailand

Companies are increasingly diversifying their Operations and Supply Chain from China to improve future operational stability.

C-level executives are taking diversification actions because of current economic and geopolitical challenges in China, including COVID lockdowns, China/Taiwan/U.S. tension, US/China tariffs, rising Chinese labor and logistical costs, dependable transport to customer base, and an increasingly bureaucratic regulatory environment in China.

Why are companies considering Vietnam or Thailand?

Decision factors include:

  • Continue to serve their customer bases in China and growing Southeast Asia
  • Facilitate the export of products to customers in Europe and the U.S.
  • Take advantage of favorable trade agreements to avoid China/U.S. tariffs
  • Guarantee an available supply of raw material and component products

    Webinar: Leveraging Mexico With a Global Supply Chain Strategy

    About The Webinar

    How can companies best leverage Mexico in their global supply chain strategy?

    Companies are looking to improve their Global Supply Chain and Manufacturing Strategies, which includes potentially diversifying their supply chain and manufacturing into Mexico if their market is US/North America.

    Even if companies keep their Chinese supply base, manufacturers can still take advantage of the USMCA trade agreement.

    The strategies can include:

      • Sourcing components / finished goods with local content from Mexico, for consumption in the U.S.
      • Sourcing components / finished goods with local content from Mexico and imported content from China, for consumption in the U.S.
      • Setting up subcontracting or manufacturing in Mexico, utilizing local content from Mexico and imported components from China and elsewhere.
