Manufacturing in Mexico is an Advantage

During a time in America where many manufactures have decided to take jobs overseas, many companies have decided to take jobs to Mexico. This is a win for U.S citizens. Yes, it does remove jobs but in many cases, the money earned by Mexican workers comes back to the United States to help support family members living here.

Not only does the currency earned in  Mexico help everyone in the United States, it also lowers the cost of these goods as they are imported back into the country. For example, in 2004, C.F.Martin & Co. started manufacturing in Mexico. At the time, Martin transferred their string division from Nazareth to Mexico. No one in Nazareth lost their jobs. Every employee was cross trained to help build guitars. Eventually Martin trained all of the workers in their Mexico plant to build guitars as well. Currently Martin manufactures Backpackers, DXM and strings in Mexico.

When imported back into the United States, these guitars offer a great entry-level price range into the world of Martin guitars for those who otherwise could not afford a Martin. Martin keeps prices low and quality high by utilizing he skilled workers at their Mexico plant. This is simply one small example of how manufacturing in Mexico offers a high-quality advantage for companies and the U.S. consumer.
