Event: How to set up a manufacturing operation in Mexico

Tetakawi, one of the leading providers of offshoring services in Mexico, is hosting an executive workshop on “Costing a Mexico Operation” in partnership with the Institute of Export & International Trade (IOE&IT).

The registration-only event will take place at The Swan, at Shakespeare’s Globe in central London on 22nd November 2019. For registration click here.

The event will help those that are considering setting up manufacturing in Mexico.

Fully understanding and controlling all of the costs is key to long-term success in any offshoring operation. Experts from Tetakawi and IOE&IT will provide attendees with the information, insights and data they need to expand into Mexico or to improve the success of current operations.

Topics to be covered by Lesley Batchelor OBE, director general of the IOE&IT and Tetakawi’s experts include:

• Why UK manufacturers should consider expanding into Mexico


• The risks and opportunities of an offshore operation in Mexico


• Proven and effective entrance strategies


• Mexico cost factors and cost estimation tools and techniques

Lesley Batchelor said: “Mexico occupies a strategic global position, being the natural bridge between Latin America to the south and the United States and Canada to the north. According to Goldman Sachs, Mexico could be the 5th largest trading nation in the world by 2050 and this, combined with Mexico’s highly attractive cost structures, the scale of its domestic market, its proximity to other significant global economies in the region make Mexico a key growth market for British businesses.”

David McQueen, director of consulting services at Tetakawi, added: “A serious and reliable cost calculation is key to take informed decisions on whether expanding into Mexico would be cost-effective and profitable. This is of upmost importance as it is quite difficult to get reliable data on operational costs. As Mexico is the premier entry point to the US market, the event will also cover relevant geopolitical factors that will impact any offshoring operation.”
