This fact has also been recognized by the German car manufacturer Audi which therefore decided to open a new plant in Mexico. By the year 2015, the company will then start its production of the Q5 SUV. Audi wants to expand its presence in the North American market while leveraging the purchasing power of Mexican consumers to increase their business success. The company follows in the footsteps of many other international corporations and SMEs, which are already successfully operating in Mexico. And this for good reason! The Mexican market is not only characterized by extensive resources of skilled labor, but also benefits from a well-developed infrastructure and proximity to the U.S. dollar area.What Audi is able to do, you can do too!
