Companies and authorities promote import substitution in Nuevo León

Monterrey, NL. The Chamber of the Transformation Industry of Nuevo León (Caintra) announced that this year they worked on a strategy focused on the SMEs to incorporate them into the industrial value chain.

In this regard, the Vice President of Caintra Nuevo LeonLeopoldo Cedillo, explained that this work was carried out because SMEs have the opportunity to become suppliers of large companies in the current context of disruption of value chains, and the complicated international, economic and political environment.

“All companies started as SMEs, and at one time, someone gave them the confidence to buy them and develop. That sense of responsibility (with SMEs) is linked to business development. It is not an expense, it is not charity, it is a matter of long-term sustainability for the leading companies,” he mentioned.

On behalf of the Caintra SME CommissionIrma León, thanked the large leading companies for their commitment and for constantly challenging this sector to be more competitive.
