Find out what companies are doing to leverage Mexican automotive suppliers to reduce dependence on Chinese suppliers.
Currently there is a trend for companies in the U.S./North America to:
Diversify their supply chain from China to Mexico
- Affected by pricing, logistics, US/China tariffs, overdependence on China, long lead times
Look for real sourcing opportunities for success in Mexico
- Closer proximity to U.S. and North American customers
- Avoidance of US/China tariffs
Overcome real challenges in establishing Mexican supply chain network
- MX vendors overwhelmed – not providing indicative pricing without company verification
- Need to establish relationship and difficult to do with no pre-existing relationships
- MX not replacement for China – size/scale of China
