Strategic Geographic Location:     Mexico has become the gateway to access the markets of North America, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific due to its strategic geographic location.

Free Trade Agreements: Mexico's network of 11 free-trade agreements offers companies with operations in Mexico preferential access to 870 million consumers in 32 countries over three continents.  Mexico has become one of the world's primary trade hubs.

Global Production Standards: Mexico's increasing productivity, efficiency, and quality standards have transformed the country into one of the world's leading manufacturing nations.

Logistics: Mexico's ongoing investment in its highway network, intermodal terminals, border crossings, rail and seaport infrastructure, and distribution centers has improved the continuity of the supply chain and its efficiency to deliver finished products to the end user.

Skilled Work Force: Mexico's young, skilled, and plentiful work force (60 percent under the age of 25) performs at world-class productivity levels.  The educational system is focused on increasing the work force's technical abilities and synchronizing their programs with the industrial sectors requirements.

Manufacturing Integration: Mexico's 2,000-mile border with the U.S.  has facilitated "just-in-time" and "supply chain management" manufacturing transborder programs.

100 Million Consumer Market: 
Mexico represents a potential consumer base of 100 million individuals whose average yearly income continues to steadily rise, as does their appetite for consumer products.


Stable Economic and Political Environment:  Mexico has an open government policy  toward  foreign direct investment (FDI), while  macroeconomic policies provide a stable economic, social, and political environment sought by investors worldwide.  It has become the number 1 recipient of FDI in Latin America.

Rich Natural Resources: Mexico offers an abundance of valuable minerals, raw materials, natural gas, and petroleum  throughout the country.

Sophisticated Infrastructure:  Mexico offers a highly developed telecommunications network, including domestic and international fiber optic and satellite systems that allow businesses to be well-connected both on a national and global basis.
