Electronics is essential from consumer electronics to the most sophisticated medical devices, home appliances, computers, automobiles, and telecommunications components that are built in Mexico. All these is possible because of the highly skilled and young labor force and over 110,000 engineering students graduating each year from Mexico’s universities. The outstanding cooperation and apprentice programs between manufacturers and trade schools and universities across the country.
In addition, Mexico is home to some of the world’s leading OEM and contract manufacturer of automotive, aerospace harness assemblies and custom cable assemblies, electromechanical assemblies and turn-key box builds.
With almost 80% of Mexico’s exports going directly north to the United States, international manufacturers are seeing the partnership between Arizona and Sonora as the ideal region for production, distribution and in some cases for product development.
Mo-Mex is strategically located 375 miles south of the Arizona border, close enough to reduce freight cost and at the same time, away from the congested and high labor cost of border towns.
