The Best of Both Sides of the Border
Develop your cross border strategy in the NM TradePort™.
A Cross Border Strategy
Because the NM TradePort™ is on the border with Mexico, is part the fifth largest manufacturing region in North America, and is part of a major logistics and supply chain hub, you can fully realize and develop a cross border strategy here.
On the north side of the border is the NM TradePort™, a logistics hub connecting Asia, Mexico, and the U.S. The NM TradePort™ offers one of the most competitive business climates on the border making the region a popular choice to establish, or reestablish, your U.S. operations.
On the south side of the border is Ciudad Juárez, one of the major manufacturing regions in North America. With a long history of cross border manufacturing, Ciudad Juárez offers low cost labor rates with access to U.S. suppliers and supply chains.
Connecting the two is the Santa Teresa Port of Entry, the region’s most modern port of entry with the fastest commercial crossing times.
Made in the U.S.A.
Increase the number of U.S. components in your product to maintain your Made in USA label? If so, you can accomplish your “Made in USA” strategy in the NM TradePort.™ Because of our location on the U.S. / Mexico border and because of our region’s long history and familiarity of manufacturing on both sides of the border, you can achieve your origin requirements with minimal impact to your supply chain.
The NM TradePort™
Doña Ana County, New Mexico
Do you need to reestablish operations in the U.S.? If so, the NM TradePort™, located in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, offers some of the lowest total operating costs in the United States. New Mexico has some of the lowest property taxes in the U.S. and a competitive business climate.
The NM TradePort’s location is another advantage your operation will benefit from. Your Asian components can still enter through Los Angeles or Houston and with Union Pacific’s Sunset Route be at the NM TradePort™ in 24 hours. Your Mexican components can still enter the U.S. from Cd. Juárez directly into the NM Tradeport. From there, your products have easy access to your customers in Chicago, St. Louis, Houston, L.A., and the rest of the United States.
Very few regions in the U.S. have the same logistics advantages while still keeping operating costs low.
Ciudad Juárez
Does your operation need to be closer to the U.S. but not necessarily in the United States? In Ciudad Juárez you can leverage Mexican maquiladoras, also called twin plants, to keep your production costs low while still accessing U.S. suppliers and supply chains.
Ciudad Juárez has more than 1.4 million inhabitants and is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. With more than 40 industrial parks, multinational corporations from the electronic, automotive and medical sectors have established operations here.
Ciudad Juárez has a long history of cross border manufacturing and many shelter operations are available to help new multinational corporations establish themselves in the city and find suppliers in the US.
