Nearshoring as an Alternative
As labor rates and freight costs in Asia continue to increase - many companies are beginning to look at alternative supply chains. As a consequence, Mexico has re-emerged as a viable and attractive alternative.
Labor rates are competitive with China and other Asian countries. Furthermore, bulk shipment of components to RRD’s San Jeronimo facility:
- Reduces inventory carrying costs
- Improves forecasting
- Increases supply chain flexibility
- Permits shipments of finished goods by low cost/low-carbon footprint ground transportation.
For companies wishing to serve the North American market, our nearshoring facility in San Jeronimo can help customers improve their market share, increase profits, and ensure speed to market.
