Aerospace Manufacturing

Finding highly specialized labor while producing a profitable, world-class aerospace product can be challenging. Tecma already has access to that skilled workforce, enabling you to cut costs while maximizing quality output.

Your aerospace factory will be strategically located and positioned for success

With industry costs 16% lower than in the US and a long list of trade agreements worldwide, aerospace production in Mexico means a competitive edge for exporting to the US market and around the world. This is why $13 billion in aerospace investment flows into Mexico each year, ranking it among the very top of the world’s aerospace producers.

Mexico’s advantages for the aerospace industry

  • Skilled Human Capital

    Mexico’s leaders have fostered an industry-academia partnership that provides three times the number of engineers as the US, relative to population size. The country is currently targeting a total aerospace industry workforce of 110,000 within the next few years.

  • Proximity to US

    The United States is far and away from the largest market for aerospace products. Other outsourcing countries simply don’t have the proximity to compete in such a high value-add industry.

  • The USMCA Advantage

    Because Mexico is a member of USMCA, aerospace exports from Mexico to the US market receive preferential treatment and duty-free status. Aerospace manufacturers in Mexico have a tax exposure comparable to US suppliers, yet enjoy lower production costs.

  • Safety Agreements

    Mexico has bilateral aviation safety agreements, or BASAs, with more than 40 countries. These BASAs mean that parts whose origin is Mexico are not subject to international inspection prior to being shipped to their end user.

  • A Growing Hub

    Over the past decade and a half, exports from aerospace manufacturing in Mexico grew at approximately 14.4% per annum. The established trend is for more and better opportunities for aerospace manufacturing companies doing business in Mexico.

Just what is a Mexican Shelter for Manufacturers?

E.g.

Perhaps you have a robust manufacturing operation in the US, but want to move manufacturing to Mexico to reduce costs. Opening a factory in a foreign country is layered in bureaucratic complexities, liabilities, and logistics hassle.

A shelter is a legal structure already established in Mexico under which you can operate as a division. This allows you to focus only on core functions while the shelter company handles everything from tax compliance to import/export to accounting and HR.
