U.S.-owned manufacturing companies continue to move production to Mexico to take advantage of Mexico's low cost, quality conscious workforce, its proximity to the United States and Mexico's Free Trade Agreements with 32 countries.

It is important to mention that production quality has improved dramatically during the past ten years. For example, Ford Motors' automobile stamping and assembly plant in Hermosillo, Sonora has been recognized by J.D. Power and Associates as the second most efficient automobile assembly and stamping plant in the world.
