NearShoring To Mexico
Introducing FabCast Solutions
FabCast Solutions, is your go-to partner to secure the best metal casted engineered parts and sub-assemblies for small-mid cap companies in North America.
Quality is at the forefront of what we do.
The Value of Nearshoring
The United Federal States of Mexico has now increased its value proposition to small and medium sized US businesses. This is due to the following reasons:
- Section 301 and related Tariffs on imported Chinese goods coming into US
- Expensive Trans-Pacific sea container shipping
- Raw material price instability in east Asia
- Unpredictable production lead-times in east Asia
- Geo-political disharmony
- IMMEX (Mexico Import) tax incentives
- USMCA trade agreement
- Cheap energy prices
- Young, educated and eager workforce
Leveraging Competitive Advantages
Whether it’s Nearshoring some of your existing programs, or adding capacity, Mexico is the clear choice destination to produce your metal and/or plastic components. FabCast only works with audited and checked out factories and plants that have an excellent track record working with US companies.
