Case study: Identifying suppliers for nearshoring operations from Asia to Mexico
The Client:
Identifying suppliers for nearshoring operations from Asia to Mexico
The Challenge:
Supply Chain Nearshoring from Asia to Mexico.
Our Solution:
Collaborating with the client, we identified key suppliers for the nearshoring of key commodity groups to move from Asia to Mexico. Such analysis resulted in the client moving multiple commodities to Mexican suppliers for cost and having suppliers in the same timezone to support their operation in the US.
In 2019, the road ahead for this company from Monterrey, Mexico required a comprehensive review and assessment of potential network of suppliers for their transportation commitments.
Trade regulations were in flux while the USMCA was being finalized. It was during this period that our client realized that it was time to relocate its production to this continent to better serve its network of North American clients and have the possibility to close new deals.
