The Mexican plastics industry offers great business opportunities both in the domestic and in the foreign market. More than 2,500 firms go to make up the plastics sector, employing more than 60 thousand people. There are some processors that transform engineering plastics for the most demanding markets such as the automotive and the electric-electronic industries. Some British companies have had the vision to invest in Mexico in the past and can now take advantage of the benefits of having factories in our country. BIP, located in Atizapan, Mexico City, is a British company exploiting its technology and production skills alongside a powerful US marketing company.
Labour costs are low, for supply in a country with rising standards of living.
Based in the West Midlands, BIP has been in Atizapan for over 30 years but is only now beginning to exploit the true potential of its location. As the inventor of melamine based plastic in the 1920's, BIP has spread around the world. Mark Timmins, the President of BIP Mexico, is still excited after two years in the post. We have a highly skilled management team and hard working employees for whom nothing is too much trouble. BIP produces both the basic raw materials and finished products ranging from dinnerware to dishwasher parts.
