Moving it to Mexico, Vietnam, and India.
Mexico is ideal since you can ship partially assembled goods via truck or rail to and from Texas. It's easy to manage logistics and partnerships due to the close proximity.
The future of the US is Mexico.
Vietnam and India can absorb SEA manufacturing.
- coliveira 2y agoMexico is now a hub for Chinese manufacturers. Just look at how they're developing the relationship: the materials are all from China and the market is the US. Vietnam is even more like that.
- jimt1234 2y agoA friend of mine has done logistics for years, getting raw materials (sheet metal) into Mexico, manufacturing the products there (mostly kitchen appliances), and shipping to the US. According to her, it's nearly impossible to make any significant progress in Mexico because there's so much corruption at all levels. She has to ship metal from Asia to Long Beach, then have it trucked down to Baja where it gets made into a product, then the product gets shipped back to the US for sale. Every couple of years there's talk of scaling up the ports at Ensenada so the shipments of metals can go directly to Mexico, but it never happens - locals get paid off, and nothing ever happens. I once asked how the Mexican officials can be so corrupt, that they would sabotage their own port improvements. She told me, "I wasn't talking about corrupt Mexicans. Do you think Long Beach is just gonna sit back and let the Ensenda take shipments from them?"
