FAQs
Is it hard to find a good manufacturer in Mexico?
Finding a good manufacturer in Mexico can be challenging if you're unfamiliar with the market, but it doesn’t have to be. With the right connections and on-the-ground support, you can find reliable, high-quality manufacturers that meet your needs. At VTX Group, we specialize in simplifying the process by partnering with validated factories that offer excellent quality and flexibility, including low MOQs.

What are the advantages of Mexico vs China?
Mexico offers several key advantages over China when it comes to manufacturing:
-
Proximity and Faster Shipping: For companies based in the U.S. or Canada, Mexico's geographical proximity reduces shipping times and costs significantly, making supply chains more efficient and responsive.
-
Lower Tariffs: Mexico benefits from trade agreements like the USMCA, which often result in lower or no tariffs for goods imported to the U.S., giving it a cost advantage over China, where tariffs can be higher.
-
Labor Costs and Quality: While China has traditionally been seen as a low-cost manufacturing hub, Mexico offers competitive labor costs, especially when you factor in shorter lead times and quality of work in industries like footwear, leather goods, and apparel.
-
Faster Turnaround Times: With shorter lead times and quicker access to the U.S. market, Mexico can provide faster turnaround times, allowing brands to react to market trends and demands more rapidly.
-
Cultural and Language Alignment: Working with manufacturers in Mexico often means fewer language barriers and cultural differences compared to China, making communication and collaboration easier.
-
Sustainability: Mexico's proximity to North America reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance shipping, making it a more sustainable option for brands prioritizing eco-friendly practices.
In summary, while China remains a global manufacturing powerhouse, Mexico offers faster lead times, competitive costs, and logistical advantages, especially for North American brands. At VTX Group, we help you leverage these benefits by connecting you with reliable, high-quality manufacturers in Mexico.
