Wise Harness Solutions Expands into Emplame, Sonora, Mexico

marzo 30, 2021 Jesus Aguirre NEWS

Since 1970, Weston, Wisconsin-based Wise Harness Solutions has assembled wire harnesses, battery cables and control panel assemblies to support its customers’ wire harness needs. The company prioritizes offering high-quality products, delivered on-time, at an excellent value and sees its expansion into Mexico as one more way to deliver upon this promise.

The decision to expand into Mexico came as Wise Harness Solutions executives sought a solution to the ongoing labor shortage plaguing manufacturers across the U.S. The company had found itself struggling to grow its Wisconsin workforce to support the demand from its customers. With more of its competitors moving into Mexico, the company recognized that the lack of a Mexican presence, combined with this workforce shortage, would make it more difficult to provide the highest quality products, on-time delivery, at the competitive price its customers expected.

Michaud adds, “We selected Empalme as the location for our new facility due to its proximity to the U.S. and the availability of an experienced workforce.” Empalme is a mere four-hour drive to the U.S. border. However, it’s location along the sea of Cortez, the second largest port on the Pacific Coast, provides manufacturers with additional options for cost-effectively reaching global customers in a timely manner.

The 25,000-square-foot facility will begin producing complex OEM vehicle wire harnesses, battery cables and control panels by early April 2021. Wise Harness executives expect that the additional capacity this facility affords will help the company to bid on more projects, allowing for additional expansion in product offerings over the next few years.

Maquiladoras in Mexico

marzo 29, 2021 Jesus Aguirre Blog

For many years, manufacturing companies have sought to increase the efficiency of their production operations and reduce costs, leading them to establish manufacturing plants in countries other than their places of origin. This has led to an increase in foreign investment and to the origin one of the main industries in the country: the maquiladoras in Mexico.

The maquiladora program was established since 1964 in order to attract foreign investment and combat unemployment in the U.S and Mexico border.

In addition, in 1994 with the signature of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) which has been ratified and today we know was USMCA (United States- Mexico – Canad Agreement), boosted during the late 90´s the number of maquila plants especially in the border of Mexico and United States.

What are Maquiladoras?

A maquiladora is a manufacturing operation in Mexico which is run by a foreign company and exports goods to other countries.

Maquiladoras import raw materials, components and machinery to process or assemble them in Mexico and then export back the finished manufactured goods. The main advantage of the maquiladoras is that the raw materials, components and equipment for production purposes can enter the Mexico under a duty-free and tax benefit structure.

In 2006 the maquiladora program was transformed and the IMMEX Program was established. The IMMEX Program which is the acronym for Manufacturing Industry, Maquiladora and Export Services, encourages manufacturers to export goods and strengthen Mexican exports.

As of February 2021, according to the National Foreign Trade Information Service of the Ministry of Economy (SNICE), for its acronym in Spanish, there are 6,003 IMMEX Programs in Mexico.

Learn more about the details of the IMMEX Program here.

Benefits of  Setting up a Maquiladora in Mexico:

  • Tax benefits:

Temporary import of raw materials, components, machinery and equipment among others without paying VAT and countervailing duties and deferring or not paying General Import Tax.

  • Free Trade Agreements:

Furthermore, Mexico counts with 13 Free Trade Agreements with 50 countries, leading to a reduction of trade barriers and allowing foreign companies to import some raw materials and products free of duties. Additionally, these FTA’s provide Mexico with access to around 60% of the world’s GDP.

  • Cost Savings:

Maquiladoras in Mexico, can benefit from having highly qualified and trained workforce at competitive labor costs.

In addition, if the finished good will be sold to United States,  it offers important logistics costs savings due to  cheaper shipping costs and  shorter overall times for shipping, which also lead to faster delivery.

  • Location and Product Flexibility:

A maquiladora can be established anywhere in the country, and still benefit from the tax savings advantages.

Furthermore, foreign companies that establish maquiladoras in Mexico have no limit on the types of items that can be manufactured (with the exception of firearms), as long as the manufactured finished good is exported.

  • Fast and easy start-up through a shelter company:

Establishing a maquiladora in Mexico is easier when partnering with a shelter service provider in Mexico. As the shelter company can be the legal entity in Mexico, or can provide service through a new legal entity, while offering a faster and easier start-up due to their experience and know-how on local practices and regulations. In addition to taking care of all administrative matters which the company on and allowing the foreign company to focus on what they do best (production, quality, materials).

Exports, stimulus throw lifeline to Mexico’s battered economy

marzo 26, 2021 Jesus Aguirre NEWS

In an arid valley in central Mexico, one of the world’s largest automotive suppliers is preparing to open a new plant to produce components for North America, underpinning the export business that has kept the country’s struggling economy ticking over.

The new Continental AG plant in Aguascalientes state should benefit from the new United States-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade deal and U.S. President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus plan to revive growth after the coronavirus pandemic.

The confidence expressed by local executives of the German parts maker echoes growing optimism among analysts that a global recovery will lift Mexico’s economy more than previously expected, despite ongoing weakness in domestic demand.

“We’ve got high (auto) output coming, high volumes for everyone, and that’s what we’re getting ready for,” said Ina Seterbakken, the manager of plant still under construction.

Continental expects business to revive after delays caused by pandemic-related disruptions, Seterbakken said, noting the facility was a strategic bet given Mexico’s proximity to the United States, the world’s biggest economy.

The new plant, which will employ about 1,000 people, joins a thick belt of automotive factories clustered in central Mexico, whirring with machinery focused chiefly on satisfying export demand that the market access of USMCA provides.

“If (USMCA) hadn’t been agreed, it would have really changed this country’s economy,” said Gustavo Puente, economy minister in the central state of San Luis Potosi, which recently unveiled a separate 60 million euro Continental investment.

Mexico’s economy last year suffered its worst slump since the 1930s, with gross domestic product (GDP) shrinking by 8.5%. Robust foreign demand ensured the outcome was not worse.

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has resisted calls to splash out to prop up the economy, arguing that bailouts and deficit spending tend to line the pockets of the rich.

But his country has benefited from stimulus spending in wealthier countries, especially the United States, which soaks up around 80% of all Mexico’s goods exports.

The automotive industry forms the core of manufacturing output, which makes up almost a fifth of Mexico’s economy.

Buoyed by the prospect of a revival north of the border, Mexico’s government is revising up its 2021 growth forecast to 5.0-5.5%, and Finance Minister Arturo Herrera said the U.S. stimulus plan was “very important” to the country.

Private sector analysts are doing the same, with JPMorgan recently raising its 2021 estimate for the second time this year to 5.6%.

“If it weren’t for such a strong program in the United States this year, Mexico might be growing 2.5% or 3%,” said Gabriel Lozano, the U.S. bank’s chief economist for Mexico.

COMMERCIAL EDGE

Mexico has committed funds worth about 1.3% of GDP to reviving its economy, according to International Monetary Fund (IMF) calculations. In Brazil, by contrast, it is 6.2%.

Yet despite that, Mexico’s economy is expected to grow by 4.3% this year versus 3.6% for Brazil, the IMF estimates.

Export exposure is one reason.

Worth some $360 billion before the pandemic, according to U.S. official data, Mexican annual exports to the United States are equivalent to about a third of GDP. Brazil’s U.S. exports were worth under $31 billion in 2019.

The difference between Latin America’s two biggest economies also shows up in financial markets: while the Mexican stock exchange has gained 4.9% so far in 2020, the Brazilian exchange has lost 8.2%, when measured in dollars.

Nevertheless, some analysts and bosses in Mexico have their doubts. They note that appetite for manufactured goods abroad contrasts with flagging domestic demand, with Mexican fixed capital investment plummeting more than 18% last year.

How well Mexico recovers will depend in part on the government’s ability to overcome tensions with business and encourage investment in manufacturing, which could profit from a drive to regionalize supply chains away from Asia under USMCA.

Drawn to lower-cost Mexico to get a competitive edge, companies are watching nervously to see if the government’s moves to strengthen state control of the electricity market will affect energy-intensive sectors like carmaking.

“(The electricity sector) is decisive for the Mexican economy to grow steadily, but for this, the state must guarantee the principles of free competition and legal certainty,” the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) in Mexico said last month.

Honda temporarily cutting production at all U.S., Canada plants

marzo 18, 2021 Jesus Aguirre NEWS

Honda Motor Co said late Tuesday supply chain issues will force a halt to production at a majority of U.S. and Canadian auto plants for a week.

The Japanese automaker added the issue will result in some production cuts next week at all U.S. and Canadian plants, citing “the impact from COVID-19, congestion at various ports, the microchip shortage and severe winter weather over the past several weeks.”

“In some way, all of our auto plants in the U.S. and Canada will be impacted,” Honda said.

Some U.S. and Canadian plants are expected to have smaller production cuts next week, but a spokesman for Honda added “the timing and length of production adjustments could change.”

The company declined to specify the volume of vehicles impacted but said “purchasing and production teams are working to limit the impact of this situation.”

The company added when production is suspended Honda workers “will continue to have the opportunity to work at the impacted plants.” Honda workers were notified of the production cuts Monday.

Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions, said Honda typically produces about 30,000 vehicles a week in the United States and Canada.

The production issues are hitting Honda plants in Ontario, Ohio, Alabama, and Indiana. Honda said its Mexico operations have not announced any production cuts.

The chip shortage, which has hit most of the global automakers, stems from a confluence of factors as carmakers, which shut plants for two months during the COVID-19 pandemic last year, compete with the sprawling consumer electronics industry for chip supplies.

General Motors Co has cut production at many plants and warned it could shave up to $2 billion from this year’s earnings.

GM’s U.S. rival Ford Motor Co previously said the shortage could hurt 2021 profit by up to $2.5 billion and said it had curtailed production of its flagship F-150 pickup.

Advantages of Manufacturing in Mexico in 2021

marzo 4, 2021 Jesus Aguirre Blog

Mexico presents advantages for manufacturing companies in 2021

Last year (2020) was a tough one for all industries, including the manufacturing industry, as they had to lead with a significant reduction in income and sales and which led to many changes and need to adapt.  Among the top industries affected are the automotive and aerospace industry, and service industries such as restaurants, hotels, etc..  Nevertheless, 2021 is a more hopeful year for most industries, including manufacturing.

The opportunities for the manufacturing industry in Mexico for this year

The pandemic challenged all industries, but it also presented an opportunity to analyze costs, ways of improvement, and to overcome changes. Which has led companies to search for alternatives, make better use of their resources and cut costs.

In which Mexico through its high skilled labor and competitive labor costs can play an important role.

Furthermore, the US and China trade conflict is still ongoing, as even though after several negotiations and that U.S. – China phase 1 trade deal was signed on January 13th, it cut some U.S tariffs on Chinese goods in exchange of China agreement to expand purchases of certain US good and services and address some U.S objections on intellectual property practices.  But still, some of the imposed tariffs remain unchanged.

Therefore, additionally to the abovementioned, the challenges caused by Covid-19, the increased labor costs in China and the rising tensions in the South China Sea, have raised concerns about manufacturing goods in China and shipping halfway around the world, leading some companies to reconsider where to set up operational manufacturing  facilities, and to look for other options including onshoring or nearshoring.

In addition to the fact that the current travel restrictions between U.S. and China due to pandemic have complicated the situation.

Mexico plays an important role in this field, as in 2019 and 2020, Mexico overcame China to become U.S. number one trading partner, and many foreign manufacturing companies have decided to invest in Mexico and establish manufacturing operations in the last years.

Companies have been considering establishing manufacturing operations in Mexico due to the different advantages it offers such as:

  • Competitive labor costs
  • Highly skilled labor force
  • Proximity to US, which due to a similar time zone facilitate communication and travel and which leads to lower shipping costs.
  • 13 Free trade Agreements with 50 countries
  • Foreign Trade and Tax Incentive Programs, such as the IMMEX Maquiladora Program.

The above-mentioned are some of the advantages Mexico has been offering for manufacturing companies in the last years and which will remain in 2021. These are some of the benefits that had led manufacturing in Mexico to rise in popularity in the last 2 decades.

Germany’s Continental to invest 60 million euros in central Mexico

marzo 2, 2021 Jesus Aguirre NEWS

German automotive parts maker Continental AG said on Monday it will invest around 60 million euros ($72 million) in expanding a plant in the central Mexican state of San Luis Potosi.

In a statement, the company said it would manufacture brake parts in the 20,000 square meters of new production space. ($1 = 0.8304 euros)

“The decision to locate the manufacturing of these high-tech components at the San Luis Potosi plant is a strong sign of Continental’s confidence in Mexico and especially in the region,” plant manager Victor Hernandez said.

The expansion of the plant, which is scheduled for completion in October 2022, is welcome news for Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, whose unorthodox economic policies have spooked investors.

It also comes as Mexico’s economy recovers from its worst recession last year in almost 90 years and Lopez Obrador hopes the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) trade deal spurs new investments and jobs.

Continental said the expansion would create some 350 new jobs over the next three years, on top of the 650 people already employed at the San Luis Potosi plant. (Reporting by Abraham Gonzalez in Mexico City Writing by Laura Gottesdiener and Anthony Esposito Editing by Matthew Lewis)
