Fruits of NAFTA – The Mexican Medical-Devices Supply Chain.
Links to short news item and video about Mexico medical-devices supply chain are included herewith. Thanks to NAFTA, Tijuana has transformed from a seedy party destination for overage college students to a thriving industrial hub for medical device production. Well-known names of US medical device companies produce their products in factories situated here. Mexico’s medical device industry buys much of its raw materials and capital machinery from American suppliers. Half of the factory’s final output is shipped back to the U.S. and much of the rest to American-owned companies elsewhere.
