NEAR SHORING – FACTORY RELOCATION

Nearshoring is the production and logistics strategy by which a company transfers part of all of its overseas production operations, to a nearer country, in order to reduce transportation costs and times, risks, insurances, and take advantage of the competitive conditions offered by that market.

Establishing and operating a company in Mexico involves a series of legal, tax, labor, corporate and logistical challenges and requirements that can be complex and bureaucratic for foreign investors.

Our advisory model proposes the possibility for you to access a “turnkey project” that without absolutely no worries during the process, you can focus on other priorities of your company while the project is developed and, in the end, simply “open the door” and start operating it in Mexico.

From the incorporation of the Company, all the way to recruiting technical and administrative / manager personnel. Looking for the ideal location nationwide, based on your special operation needs, is a plus.
