Investment in Mexico's supply chain will enable the country's manufacturing sector to become less reliant on imported parts as trade uncertainty, such as the ongoing renegotiation of NAFTA, poses a threat to manufacturing. The large concentration of investments around Nuevo Leon and Coahuila suggests that this is where a supply chain hub is developing. In our regular round-up of production investments, we track the latest projects from the production side of the industry and analyse regional trends that we see developing. In doing so, we hope to build a picture of any potential hubs that may be developing, as well as company strategy in terms of production bases and export programmes.
