Logistically, border cities offer lower freight costs when the ultimate destination of goods made in Mexico are located in the U.S. or Canada. But the interior of Mexico might have better proximity to some supply-chain networks and easier access to seaports. In regards to labor in the interior of Mexico, availability is usually higher with lower costs but logistics to suppliers and consumers in the U.S. might take more effort. The border has high turnover with high costs, but the proximity to U.S. customers and suppliers is unmatched. The interior and central regions of Mexico maintain a lower turnover rate, and are just as skilled in manufacturing operations as their border counterparts. Recent federal investment in training and industry development in these regions has enabled more FDI, manufacturing activity, and overall GDP growth. Although these locations are further into the country, there is strong connected infrastructure to the rest of North America. Learn more about understanding your site selection needs here.
