Startup operations Mexico: Why Mexico is a global destination for manufacturing.







A leading operator in providing services to international manufacturers in Mexico, has just published a technical document that explains why the credibility of the manufacturing sector of this country has risen in the world and why European manufacturers are increasingly Mexico as A manufacturing platform for North America.


Mexico has become an increasingly attractive destination for the aerospace, automotive, medical device, electronics and manufacturing industries.

In 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the United States, Mexico, and Canada eliminated most of the tariffs, customs duties, and import and export restrictions on the movement of goods traded between the three countries. On the other hand, the Mexican labor force is relatively inexpensive, and with great manufacturing experience.






As a result, hundreds of international companies have made large investments in Mexico. For example, the German Volkswagen produces the Jetta model exclusively at its plant in Mexico. Manufacturers of electronic products such as LG have established operations by raising wages in China, in Mexico. The latest trend in foreign investment has been in the aerospace industry, where 238 companies in the sector have taken advantage of the highly qualified workforce, establishing operations in the Aztec country.

The report also notes that Mexico's proximity to the US It is a significant and growing advantage for those supplying the North American market as they allow the immediate landing of a product and deliver just one time, a much more difficult system to implement in Europe, China or India. 

The production in Mexico companies of European companies set up amanufacturing company in North America, a lower cost, in a US dollar cost zone within a base of established local suppliers.

Site Selection to invest in Mexico


The triumph of Donald Trump caused at the beginning great uncertainty about the future of Mexico. However, despite this volatility in markets and financial uncertainty, Mexico can offer juicy returns for those foreigners who are seeing the country as an option to deposit their dollars through insurance, investment funds or the purchase of Real Estate.



Based on a note published by Expansion a few months ago, they consulted three investment and risk protection experts who propose a guide to achieve it successfully.

REAL ESTATE 
Magic villages such as San Miguel de Allende in Guanajuato or Ajijic in Jalisco; beach areas such as Puerto Peñasco in Sonora, Rosarito in Baja California, Banderas Bay in Nayarit and Playa del Carmen in Quintana Roo are attractive destinations for the baby boomer community, which is about to retire, to acquire a rest property.

Leonardo Gonzalez, a Real Estate analyst at Propiedades.com, says it's a good time to invest in Mexico, as an expensive dollar strengthens the purchasing power of Americans. However, there are procedures to be followed. For example, for beach destinations and border area it is necessary an acquisition trust created by a bank. And to acquire a mortgage loan, you would need temporary or permanent residence.

In Mexico City, areas such as Polanco, which annually have a capital gain two or three times greater than the IPC, offers the guarantee that you can buy a property today in dollars and sell it in five or 10 years in the same currency. "A property that is valued and sold in dollars, versus one in pesos in the same area, in the same segment and for the same profile leaves a profit higher than 30%," says the analyst of Propiedades.com.

INVESTMENT AND INSURANCE FUNDS 
The possibility of acquiring an investment fund is limited for those foreigners who do not have their temporary or permanent residence in the country. The funds available to foreigners in Mexico have a combination of fixed and variable income, national or international, private or governmental, depending on the profile of the applicant.

The process of opening the contract must be in person and the US citizen would have to travel to Mexico to sign them. However, Álvarez says that an investment in a national and corporate national income fund could give 3% of net income in 12 months, while one of equities with a national and international combination could give up to 7% in one year net.



As you can see, investing in Mexico represents a big opportunity not only for people who want to retire, but also for businessmen who wants to establish their operations.
