From Ecommerce On Tap · 1:01:27
Show by Aaron Alpeter
Kicking off our Mexico season with Javier Zarazúa Ruiz, Managing Partner of JL Nearshoring Mexico and a 25-year veteran of manufacturing operations at Caterpillar and Adient. Everyone assumes brands are moving to Mexico for cheap labor — the real gap is about a dollar an hour. Javier and Aaron break down what's actually driving the shift: tariffs, transit time, and 60 years of industrial infrastructure most people think started in 2018.
