Industries and the significance of strategic location
Companies can boost their growth if they are in the right place, no matter which sector they belong to. And for a company’s operations, being strategically located in Mexico1 is an essential factor.
The advantages of a strategic location
Many aspects can transform a simple space into a strategic one, greatly benefiting a company’s operation:
- Proximity to key ports or routes. Geography is the first thing to consider. If your company had facilities near the U.S. border or close to highways, airports, or port areas, it would have a better national and international interconnection, expanding your business opportunities.
- Close to other companies in the same line of business. Other companies’ presence in these areas can promote partnerships, alliances, and agreements, as well as help provide valuable information for the business, such as how many suppliers and competitors are in the area.
- Cutting-edge spaces. A company’s location in an industrial zone leads to process optimization because production plants, assembly centers, and storage spaces, all located in the same industrial park, might be needed to run operations.
Therefore, setting up a company in an industrial zone offers major benefits, cost-cutting opportunities, and improving production processes.
Nuevo Leon case and beer production
The report “Conociendo la industria de la cerveza”2 (“Getting to know the beer industry”) states that Mexico is the world’s leading beer exporter. This success can be explained by analyzing the Nuevo Leon case, a state responsible for 11% of the country’s beer production3. However, there are more key aspects to keep in mind:
- Nuevo Leon belongs to the northern industrial corridor, where industrial parks with cutting-edge facilities, assembly areas, and warehouses are concentrated. Infrastructure, including drainage, fiber optics, and heavy-duty roads, are also found there.
- Along with the different brewing companies in this area, there are also complementary companies, such as aluminum can factories, glass factories, and more. Their collaborative work, supported by the distribution center, speeds up the logistical mobilization of products.
- Nuevo Leon’s close location4 to the United States promotes the most efficient export of beer, particularly when 28% of the beer produced in Mexico is exported. Another significant aspect is that transportation by road only takes a couple of hours with a direct border crossing, which results in low transportation costs to the neighboring country.
It is evident that Nuevo Leon’s strategic locations play a major role in its beer-producing excellence. This is why locating in an industrial zone is advantageous for companies in multiple sectors.
