With the enactment of NAFTA, Mexico has invested significantly in infrastructure improvements to maintain existing roads and transportation corridors, as well as investing in new infrastructure in order attract new commercial trade to the region. Years of experience between US logistics and Mexico logistics working closely together now register more than 16.9 customs interactions a year.

Mainland Mexico has 117 active ports and terminals connected to more than 145 countries, each located near high commercial and manufacturing activity and connected to the Mexico’s highway network.

Currently, utility costs are 4% less than in China.
