A Case Study in Cost Reduction and Resilience Through Nearshoring

A global manufacturer with a significant production footprint in North America was facing rising component costs and unreliable delivery from existing suppliers. Capacity issues and inflationary pressures were beginning to threaten operational stability and long-term profitability.
With an eye toward optimizing their supply chain through nearshoring, the company sought alternatives in Mexico to reduce costs, improve quality, and ensure supply continuity across 11 critical commodities and processes.
Our Approach

Prodensa’s Vendor Identification & Implementation Program

To support this client’s nearshoring goals, Prodensa deployed a turnkey sourcing solution combining vendor research, technical vetting, cost analysis, and quality assurance.

  • RFQ and Cost Analysis: Feb–Mar 2025

  • Site Visits and Quality Audits: Apr–May 2025

  • Business Award and Implementation: May–Sept 2025

Methodology

  • National screening of 150+ suppliers across Mexico for 11 different types of critical components
