Where to Launch Your Next Factory? Compare Energy, Equipment, and Labor Costs
Choosing the Right Location Starts with the Right Data
Opening a new factory is a major investment. Beyond location and logistics, the real costs—energy rates, equipment availability, and labor—can define your success.
Compare Key Cost Drivers
- Energy Costs: Electricity prices vary widely. Mexico often offers lower industrial rates than the U.S. and Europe.
- Forklift & Equipment: Local sourcing, import duties, and service availability can shift costs significantly by country.
- Labor Rates: Consider not just hourly wages, but also training, benefits, and productivity levels.
Top Regions to Compare
- Mexico: Competitive wages, affordable electricity, proximity to U.S. supply chains.
- United States: High labor and energy costs, but fast access to service and capital.
- Asia (e.g., Vietnam, China): Low wages, varying energy costs, longer shipping times to Western markets.
