| A strategy applied to the steel industry in Mexico, to place steel importing companies in a more favorable position. |
Mexico as a steel exporter does not have competitiveness despite having national resources, its main client is the US market; that thanks to the ease with the T-MEC, trade barriers are facilitated.
Regarding imports, Mexico is in the TOP 5 steel importer; Therefore, it has chosen to take a position in which it obtains the steel at a high cost for a global sales price, which only ends up decreasing the profit captured.
A large number of distributors in Mexico lead the purchase and sale of steel, which sometimes also adds some value to the steel to be delivered, as we mentioned, to the northern neighbor. In such a competitive situation, where the Asian giant is stalking Mexico’s position, logistics strategy plays an important role on the map. Optimizing logistics costs can be an important tool for material flow and ensuring a decent profit.
