THE CONMEX ADVANTAGE

A BETTER CHOICE THAN CHINA

Concise Industries, Conmex Division, located in Nogales Mexico has recently announced it is experiencing an unprecedented increase in its production for U.S based corporations.  This is due to Conmex’s record of delivering world class quality and service at a competitive price and manufacturers taking a closer look at their global risk management strategies and true costs.  Bernie Hart, a global product executive with J.P. Morgan recently stated:

“J.P. Morgan continues to see U.S. manufacturers reconfiguring their supply chains by moving plant operations and sourcing vendors closer to home and away from Asia. Limited free trade agreements, high energy costs, and rising labor and production costs in Asia all contribute to companies reevaluating extended supply chains.”  He goes on to state that “Mexico in particular has become an increasingly popular source for manufactured goods as companies compete on time-to-market strategies, seek financial advantages found in Mexico's multiple free trade agreements and capitalize on Mexico's streamlined customs processes and abundant English-speaking workforce.”

As noted in a 2008 Boston Consulting Group report, Mexico's Evolving Sweet Spot in the Globalization Landscape:

“The cost difference between low-wage Mexico and lower-wage China has been narrowing. In 1996, Chinese labor cost about one-third of Mexican labor. Today, Chinese labor costs are about half of Mexico's -- $1.69 per hour on average, compared to $3.46 per hour, according to the International Labor Organization [ILO]. In another year or two, according to estimates, hiring a Chinese worker will cost about 85 percent of what it costs to hire a Mexican worker.”

Because of these trends, Conmex is projecting that its increase in production will continue and they look forward to establishing and maintaining long term successful relationships with its customers.
