Mexico Expansion Private 1:1 Sessions

Why Book a Meeting With Us?

Tennessee's manufacturing base is at an inflection point. Ford's BlueOvalCity, Volkswagen in Chattanooga, and Nissan in Smyrna are reshaping the state's automotive supply chain, and the EV transition is forcing every Tier-2 and Tier-3 supplier to answer the same question: where does our production need to be, and how do we stay in the supply chain? These sessions are built to help you work through that decision with real data.

  • 01

    The EV transition is restructuring Tennessee's automotive supply chain. VW, Nissan, and Ford's BlueOvalCity are changing what parts get made here and where. How do we position our production footprint to stay competitive in what comes next?

  • 02

    Our OEM customers are simultaneously retooling in Tennessee and expanding in Mexico. Does our North America manufacturing strategy need to evolve to follow that shift, and what does that actually require?

  • 03

    Mega-investments like BlueOvalCity are driving wage competition and labor availability challenges across the state. What does industrial workforce availability look like in Mexico, and what does the real cost comparison tell us?

  • 04

    What does it take to expand manufacturing operations to Mexico while maintaining the quality, delivery, and compliance standards our OEM customers require?

You will leave with a clear picture of whether expanding manufacturing operations to Mexico is the right move for your company, and what a realistic first step looks like.
