With recent announcements to invest in infrastructure in Mexico, manufacturers can look forward to improvements in the systems that support their production.
Transport
Mexico is well connected through a national network of highways, with special focus on roads to export routes to the U.S. There are also many international airports and a rail network connecting Mexico to multiple border cities.
Industrial Parks
Mexico has the presence of large and professional development groups, from international firms to local players. These groups play a pivotal role in the industrial development. Options range from new “green” buildings to ones a bit older and basic.
Electricity
Mexico´s state-owned company, CFE (Comisión Federal de Electricidad), is the largest generator and distributor of electricity in Mexico. There are international firms that support the generation of electricity through solar, geothermal, thermoelectric, and other technologies, and CFE distributes. Electricity rates vary by state and are adjusted on a monthly basis.
Natural Gas
Mexico has natural gas infrastructure in most industrial cities, with presence of national and international firms that support the generation and distribution of natural gas.
Water
Water and sewage services in Mexico are managed by state-owned companies. The rates vary by state and are adjusted on an annual basis.
Communications
Voice/data infrastructure in Mexico is one major competitive advantage. There is a large presence of national and international firms that support voice and data services nationwide at competitive costs, with special focus in industrial areas for high-speed, satellite, and fiber optic options.
