Why Mexico

Why Mexico?

One of the main reasons U.S. companies look to Mexico for their production needs is a lower labor expense. This logic is justified but there are other benefits as well.

First Mexico 's proximity and accessibility to the United States makes it a much more desirable choice then any other country especially those over seas. Logistically, using our services to import and export to Mexico can almost be like dealing with a neighboring state. Because we take care of the paperwork and customs the remaining detail is the time in transit across the border. The average time for a trailer to cross is currently 3-5 hours which is certainly less then waiting for a boat to arrive. For Sistemas Textiles it's even one step better. Since we are located in Nogales the transit time from the border to our facilities is only ten to twenty minutes.

Another key benefit is Mexico 's workforce. The Mexican labor market is strong with a good pool of skilled and non skilled people looking for work. In the textile industry we have found an abundance of pre-trained machine operators. This industry is vibrant in Mexico because of the amount of companies who have relocated production into Mexico. In our experience, our customers who still manufacture in the United States are amazed by this mostly because of the lack of interest US workers take in this area. This is especially true for younger generations who don't see themselves sewing in an production line.
