Episode Notes

Mexico’s economy is already back to pre-pandemic levels, a surprise to many around the world. The global pandemic forced many manufacturers to resettle their distant supply chains in Asia and bring production closer to home, all while reconsidering single-source suppliers. As the beneficiary of manufacturing growth, due to “the nearshoring effect,” Mexico’s aerospace industry (Bombardier, Cessna, Beechcraft, etc.) – spanning airline, national defense, satellite, and space-related companies – has greatly benefited.

With recent growth in the aerospace sector, the Mexican labor force has sought to increasingly develop skills in the fields of engineering, design, science, and technology, making Mexico a sought after market for foreign companies seeking additional, lower cost manufacturing and production capabilities.

In this interview, you will hear from the President & CEO of the Mexican Federation of the Aerospace Industry (Federación Mexicana de la Industria Aeroespacial), a private nonprofit organization that supports and (domestically and internationally) represents engineering, design, and manufacturing companies vital to the Mexican aerospace industry; and helps facilitate foreign investment with Mexican aerospace entities.
