Key Takeaway

Local manufacturing cut delivery time to under 6 months for 64 custom switchgear units — even after a mid-project design change added a third transformer. Siemens' Mexico plant eliminated overseas shipping risk and enabled same-week factory inspections, turning a potential 12+ month lead time into a competitive advantage.

Our Take— Mike Sanders, Founder

“We see this pattern constantly: local manufacturing isn't just about logistics — it's about absorbing scope changes without blowing the schedule. A 6-month turnaround on custom equipment with a major mid-project redesign would be impossible with overseas supply chains adding 8-12 weeks of shipping buffer alone.”

"Una de las ventajas que tiene Siemens en México es que es el único fabricante que tiene la planta de tableros de este tipo en México. Eso reduce los tiempos de entrega, reduce también las inspecciones."
