¨As a first time attendee of the Offshore Group's Manufacturing Mexico Summit, I was very impressed with the summit's overall organization, quality of its employees, and impressive production operations. Now that I have visited the Offshore Group's operation, I would support opening a facility with them in either Guaymas or Saltillo. ¨

¨I have attended several conferences sponsored by a variety of shelter companies. The annual manufacturing summit presented by The Offshore Group was by far the best in providing a total package. Besides acquiring technical information tailored to our needs we also had an opportunity to net work with other companies considering a Mexican operation.¨

The Offshore Group’s October Summit was an excellent way to network with USA based companies either currently manufacturing in Mexico or considering an investment in Mexico as well as a broad spectrum of Mexican economic and political experts.  The contacts made at the conference have been helpful in better understanding how best to approach the development of a Mexico based operation.   

In addition to the network contacts the Offshore staff has been helpful in evaluating and development of potential Mexico based manufacturing strategies.  Gale Thompson and his operations team have followed up the Summit discussions by providing information on the Offshore Industrial Parks and other potential locations to meet our specific needs.

I highly recommend the Summit as the first point of contact of any company considering the establishment of an operation in Mexico.  The event offers an in-depth look at manufacturing in Mexico, as well as providing prospective manufacturers with a network of contacts to facilitate a deeper understanding of what it takes to be a successful in Mexico.

¨As an operations executive exploring offshore manufacturing and sourcing opportunities, I felt your program was very informative. It helped me understand the different costs, unique challenges and opportunities involved with manufacturing in Mexico. The cost model that was provided not only allowed me to estimate our costs, but also to understand potential suppliers' costs. The program also helped me network with a number of other companies, a valuable added benefit when looking for new suppliers and potential customers abroad.¨

¨The Offshore Group’s Manufacturing in Mexico Summit provided comprehensive information that was valuable to pass along to UK firms investigating manufacturing in Mexico. I would recommend attendance at the Summit to any European firms seeking to service their North American clients¨.

¨The information sessions were extremely valuable. We were at a very
early stage in our evaluation of Mexico as a manufacturing location and
the Offshore group helped us to understand the issues and the potential.
We were able to quantify the opportunity and put a realistic plan in
place to move forward.¨
