Our Mexico Practice

A Breadth of Skills and Experience

Trade and Commerce –  Mexico presents attractive import markets for a wide variety of industrial and consumer products and services.

MCG consultants have extensive operating experience in Mexico’s retail and wholesale distribution channels.   We can assess the opportunity for your products and services.  We can help you set up your export system by finding suitable distributors or prospects for a successful joint venture.

We can locate products for you to import from Mexico and identify appropriate, reliable sources for you.  We work with the myriad issues of Mexican logistics, trade finance, transportation systems, tariffs, the NAFTA and related laws and regulations.

MCG consultants undertake Mexican market research and blend the results with sensitive industry intelligence. You can benefit from our knowledge of Mexico’s unique issues, methods and business culture.

We can help you, as your Mexican connection, to build your Business Plan for Mexico including market and financial analysis, the evaluation of strategic alliances and partnerships and the assessment of the cultural and legal issues.

Manufacturing and Border Assembly – In-bond or “Maquiladora” assembly in Mexico can be an attractive alternative to Asian outsourcing for your time sensitive, high-value products and services.  Mexico’s proximity to your US operations, its bilingual engineers and synchronized time zones permit your managers and engineers to communicate efficiently.  They can visit your Mexican production and service facilities and return home within 24 – 36 hours.

You may choose from a variety of Mexican “nearshore” manufacturing and assembly options.  You will find Shelter Plan and contract manufacturing facilities in modern industrial parks along the border and in the interior of Mexico.  These efficient alternatives to building and operating your own Mexican plant can save startup time and capital investment funds.

MCG consultants will help you to evaluate and choose the most appropriate production means and locations.  We have been doing this since the inception of the Maquiladora program in 1968.

Technology – Mexico’s many distinguished schools, colleges and universities graduate well trained, competent and energetic IT and other engineers and scientists.  These young people, many with English language skills, are attractive and comparatively inexpensive assets for you if your project calls for developing technology markets and sources in Mexico.

MCG consultants understand technology industries in the U.S. and Mexico.  They know the relevant issues of energy and environment.  They can help you to outsource in Mexico, form strategic partnerships, sell and distribute.

Finance, Investments – You can participate most fully in the Mexico economic opportunity through direct foreign investment.  If your business plan includes a Mexican joint venture or similar investment, we can help you in analyzing, determining and evaluating the level of its feasibility.

If you need merger and acquisition specialists in Mexico, we can help.  We work with bankers, investment bankers, legal, tax and audit specialists and can interface with you.  We can prepare corporate intelligence reports for you and develop major shareholder dossiers.  We identify strategic and financial partners and provide you with due-diligence intelligence on a confidential and anonymous basis.

MCG consultants are experienced in trade finance, credit and collections.

Real Estate – You may be surprised to find that real estate laws, regulations, finance and other issues can be quite different from those in the US.  MCG consultants have extensive experience with these and can assist your own real estate managers in considering each of the many options available to you in Mexico.

Project Management  - If your project involves construction, you will learn that planning, development, contracting and management information systems are well developed in Mexico.  They rely, however, on a unique system of legal, cultural and other issues that will present you with a crucial need for expert assistance.  MCG consultants can help you to understand and successfully navigate this foreign maze.
