The northern and Central-Bajío regions currently have the greatest area of opportunity to take advantage of nearshoring, since they are focusing on detonating their human talent, said the executive president of the National Auto Parts Industry (INA), Francisco Gonzalez Diaz.

In a press conference, the businessman explained that because the states of the northern border, as well as San Luis Potosí, Guanajuato and the Estate of Mexico in the past, implemented long-term projects in the field of industry, they have become more competitive against this new wave of relocation of supply chains.

He explained that the differential factor is that these subnational entities opted for the formation of automotive clusters, unlike other states that are lagging behind in this, which has allowed them to develop in a better way, through synergies with more appropriate ways of working. and simple, González reiterated.

From this integration, it is that since last year these two regions have begun to make different alliances with subnational authorities and educational institutions to take advantage of the opportunity that currently exists in terms of nearshoring.

Among the points that are triggering, he deepened that it stands out that there are states that already have alliances with Conalep, where they seek to increase the rate of highly specialized technicians.

It should be noted that this occurs in a context where the international director in Latin America of The Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT), Carlos Mortera, projected that this year the states of the country will face the phenomena of job rotation and lack of personnel, derived of the boom in the reconfiguration and relocation of supply chains. For example, job turnover at a manufacturing plant might exceed the average of 5% per month.

According to the specialist, this year there is a risk of a possible obstruction of investment due to the lack of trained labor, taking into account that the annual capture of 11,000 million pesos is expected through nearshoring, since it costs companies more operating a plant with an unstable workforce, as well as bringing in trained personnel from another country.
