Company formally earns "Made in Mexico" recognition for its dedication to domestic industry and export capabilities
Let's get down to it:
Our company proudly boasts the "Made in Mexico" label, a testament to our commitment to Mexican industry and export prowess. This badge of honor comes courtesy of the Mexican Ministry of Economy, recognizing our dedication to the country's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda, particularly Goals 5 (Gender Equality), 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), and 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).
Why's this a big deal? Well, it showcases our role in making Mexico a hub for cleaner, more inclusive, and resilient mobility solutions. With our site in Ciudad Sahagún, Hidalgo, we've built a robust manufacturing base that not only serves the local market but also exports trains, carbodies, and components worldwide.
Maite Ramos, Managing Director of our company Mexico and North LAM, had this to say: "We've been a key player in both national and international rail sectors for over 70 years. This 'Made in Mexico' label reinforces our commitment to the country, local economic development, and industrial excellence that lets us compete toe-to-toe on the global stage."
The 'Made in Mexico' label symbolizes the quality, innovation, and technological might of our products produced within Mexico's borders. Export projects, such as transportation systems in the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia, underscore Mexico as a strategic center for world-class rail manufacturing.
By obtaining this certification, our company demonstrates its role as a valued partner in Mexico's sustainable transformation, offering next-gen rail solutions that benefit the environment, urban development, and economic development while supporting specialized employment and tech transfer to Mexican talent.
In the nitty-gritty:
The 'Made in Mexico' label carries weight in terms of a company's standing within the domestic market, expanding export capabilities through compliant goods and preferential treatment under trade agreements, and indirectly supporting SDGs through quality and compliance standards. However, Companies must be wary of challenges like intellectual property protection issues and tariffs to maximize these benefits effectively.
