Furniture Manufacturing in Mexico
Global demand is always shifting, and manufacturing furniture products requires flexibility and short times to market. Fortunately, with its proximity to the US, furniture production in Mexico provides just that.
Leverage Mexico’s industry benefits to your company’s advantage
As wages rapidly balloon in China, top furniture manufacturers like La-Z-Boy, Pottery Barn, and IKEA are finding Mexico has the competitive advantage they need. These companies leverage a robust, low-cost talent pool and proximity to the US market to excel – not only internationally, but also for a burgeoning domestic market in Mexico.
From office furniture to car seats and wood furniture, furniture manufacturing in Mexico provides a strategic advantage for more efficient and demand-responsive production.

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.
