The Transport and Logistics Industry in Mexico

Why Should Mexico Import Equipment?

Availability – Customers require equipment in a timely manner, and sometimes, the local industries have limited capacity and availability to meet this requirement.
High Equipment Cost – Given domestic completion and high production and labor costs, equipment is more expensive to buy from the local manufacturers than buying internationally.
Equipment Quality - While most international equipment suppliers have a good brand reputation and quality products, some domestic manufacturers may have alternative quality.
