Outsource Your Production to Mexico
Shelmex manufacturing outsourcing is for companies that want to produce in Mexico without building a plant, a workforce, and a compliance team from scratch. Your team defines the product and supplies the materials; Shelmex runs the operation, from the production floor to the delivery of finished goods.
No two operations are alike, so we build each one around your process and your volumes.
What Shelmex Runs for You
With manufacturing outsourcing, Shelmex takes responsibility for the daily operation of your production:
Manufacturing facility
A plant ready for your production.
Workforce
Recruitment, selection, training, and management of the people on your line.
Operations management
Planning and administration of the operation so your deadlines are met.
Process engineering
Engineers who work with you to improve methods and lower costs.
Production supervision
Supervisors who follow every phase of production.
Quality inspection and assurance
Checks from incoming materials to finished product.
Compliance with your standards
Products built to your specifications and the standards you require.
Import and export procedures
Documentation, permits, and compliance for your imports and exports.
Product logistics
Finished goods delivered on time to the destinations you choose.
What You Provide
- Product definition: your product prototype, drawings, specifications, and product engineering.
- Materials: the raw materials and components for production.
- Equipment: production machinery and equipment, if your process requires it. Equipment ownership is flexible, and we decide with you what makes the most sense for your operation.
When Outsourcing Is the Right Fit
- You are ready to produce in Mexico: you have decided to move or expand production in Mexico and need a partner to run it.
- You want to keep your product: the product, the specifications, and the materials stay under your control.
- You want to focus on your business: your team stays on innovation and growth while the operation runs in Mexico.
- You prefer one partner: the plant, the people, the permits, and the logistics are handled by Shelmex.
Need a facility used only for your production? See our manufacturing facilities. Prefer that we build your product in our own plants? Contract manufacturing may be the better fit.
