Automakers Flock to Mexican Manufacturing Market

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Mexico has emerged as a top destination for the automotive market, with numerous manufacturers and suppliers taking advantage of its proximity to the U.S. market and its just-in-time supply chain.

Heavy investment in technology and training has bolstered Mexico's manufacturing practices, including the installation of state-of-the-art equipment and automated processes. Automotive companies also are working with local suppliers, strengthening the regional economy.

Major auto manufacturers with projects under development include Noah ItechMexico S de RV de CV with its automation equipment factory in Santa Catarina, Nuevo Leon, which started construction in January and is expected to wrap up next spring, and Band Nidec Automotive Motors Mexicana S.A. de CV with its electric vehicle axle plant in Guanajuato, Guanajuato, which could begin construction early next year. The latter's customers are expected to include Tesla Incorporated (NASDAQ:TSLA) (Austin, Texas).
