2 Reasons To Beware Of Lists Of Manufacturing Companies In Mexico
Are you looking to contract with a manufacturing company in Mexico? You may have heard that there are lists of Mexican manufacturing companies floating around the web. We suggest steering clear of these lists for the reasons listed below. There’s a much better way to find the right contract manufacturer for your company, which we’ll cover at the end of this article.
1. The Companies On These Lists Are Usually Just Affiliates

Many of the lists you find on Google have been created by consulting companies that represent Mexican manufacturers. The goal of publishing these lists is to push US and Canadian companies to contract with the Mexican manufacturers in which these consulting companies have a financial interest.
Instead of being a curated and complete list of manufacturing companies, many of these lists are just a collection of affiliated companies. So, instead of getting a good list you can use to find a company that meets your needs to a tee, you’re getting a list of some consulting company’s clients.
2. These Lists Don’t Contain The Information You Need
Finding the right contract manufacturer for your company is a big deal. You need a company that has the equipment, experience, and expertise necessary to meet all of your needs. That’s why a list of contract manufacturers is pretty much a waste of time.
A list of 1,000 manufacturing companies in Mexico doesn’t do you much good if 995 of them have no relevant experience. You would be spending hours and hours looking into each company on the list to see if they have experience making the parts/assemblies/components you need. Make better use of your time by asking for recommendations right off the bat.
The Best Way To Find The Right Mexican Contract Manufacturer For Your Company
The best way to find a Mexican contract manufacturer that meets all of your needs is to reach out to an established and experienced manufacturer and ask for help. It’s that simple.
Experienced manufacturers like Intran have relationships with hundreds of competing manufacturers (as we often work with competitors on various projects). Unlike consulting companies that create lists, we’re not trying to push you to a company we’re selling services to.
Instead, we’ll point you in a good direction if you contact us about your project and it’s not a good fit for us. If we can help with a portion of the process (maybe we can manufacture one or two components of your assembly, for example) we’ll let you know.
Generally speaking, very few assemblies can be completed by one manufacturer. At Intran, we have a long list of contacts that we’re happy to reach out to if it will help you get the best part possible.
