This year, as a testament to our commitment to the manufacturing world, we at CPI (Co-Production International) are excited to share a series of exclusive videos that showcase the essence of manufacturing in Mexico. To kick off our series, we've collaborated with "Crossing South" for a unique episode offering an inside tour of ICON Aircraft's facility in Tijuana. Recognized for their innovative amphibious airplanes, often equated to 'flying Ferraris', ICON Aircraft exemplifies the fusion of cutting-edge design with impeccable artisanship. The decision for businesses to nearshore, especially from regions like China to Mexico, has garnered significant attention in recent years. While cost efficiency remains a prime factor, the reasons span far wider. The geographical closeness to the vast North American market, reduced shipping times, agility to respond to market demands, and the advantage of just-in-time production are just a few compelling reasons for the shift.

At CPI, we believe in fostering and championing the growth of the manufacturing industry. Our mission, however, transcends beyond metrics and efficiencies. It's centered on the very core of humanity - the people. Manufacturing isn't solely about churning out products; it's about impacting lives, both of those who create and those who utilize these products. As we commemorate Manufacturing Day, we invite you to join us in this celebration.

Let’s honor the intricate processes, the groundbreaking innovations, and most importantly, the people behind each product. Here's to the stories of passion, dedication, and ingenuity that shape the world of manufacturing.
