Mexico Manufacturing Resource Partners: High-Quality, Low-Cost Production & Labor

258 Consulting takes its name from the 258 stone monuments or obelisks that were placed back in the middle of the 1800’s to mark the border between Mexico and the US. These monuments deliniated the border from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. Before there were walls and fences, the only thing marking the border were these monuments. We help companies on both sides of the US and Mexico border to find solutions for their sourcing, manufacturing and sales expansion goals, we believe that walls and fences are not the solution while recognizing that the two countries are business partners and together are a great force to compete in international markets.
