There are good reasons to remain loyal to Europe as a manufacturing location. Whether it’s the stable political framework, the well-trained workforce, or the solid infrastructure. However, the general influencing factors on the European economy, and particularly on the industry, have not developed positively in recent years. Considering the sharply rising energy prices, excessive bureaucracy, and high levels of taxes European countries have lost competitiveness on a global scale.
Whether you are planning an additional production facility abroad or even considering a complete relocation of your local manufacturing to another country, we would like to outline the advantages and opportunities that Mexico can offer.
Mexico is known to many as a vacation paradise or for its colorful and traditional culture, but in recent years, it has also become an important factor in the global economy, particularly in trade with the USA and the EU.

Energy cost
In light of the steadily rising energy costs in Europe, an increasing number of companies are considering relocating their production abroad. Energy-intensive industries are particularly affected, as high electricity and gas prices limit competitiveness. Countries with lower energy costs are increasingly getting into focus for these companies. These countries not only offer more affordable energy prices but also advantages such as lower labor costs and their proximity to international markets. As a result, moving operations abroad is becoming a serious option for many European companies to reduce costs and secure their global competitiveness.
Opportunities in Mexico
Mexico is an interesting alternative for German and European companies looking to escape the high energy costs. The country has affordable and reliable energy sources, including renewable energies such as solar and wind power, which can be utilized on a large scale in many regions of Mexico. By strategically relocating production facilities to Mexico, companies could not only save on energy costs but also benefit from lower labor costs and proximity to key markets like the USA. Additionally, free trade agreements such as the USMCA (with the USA and Canada) facilitate access to North America. Thus, Mexico presents a promising combination of affordable energy supply and economic advantages.
