Supply Chain Growth in the U.S., Mexico and Latin America

"The supply chain is growing and improving throughout the U.S. with the emergence of last-mile facilities and delivery – and Mexico and Latin America are presenting new opportunities for relocation, investment and supply chain extension.
Since manufacturing costs remain low south of the U.S., American companies continue to invest in manufacturing activities there, and Mexico and Latin America are beginning to implement their own supply chain improvements – further encouraging American investment. 
  We interviewed Cresa’s Jeffrey Garza Walker, Senior Vice President, and Joshua Rodriguez, Vice President, at the 2019 Area Development Consultants Forum in Houston about some of these insights.
Below are some excerpts from our interview, which you can also watch here.
