Why Guadalajara matters for corporate merch
Guadalajara has been called the "Mexican Silicon Valley" for two decades, and the nickname is finally catching up to the reality. The software corridor runs from the historic centre along Avenida Vallarta and López Mateos out to Zapopan, with engineering offices for IBM, Oracle, Intel, Continental, Bosch, Continental Automotive and Tata Consultancy Services clustered around the Andares / Plaza del Sol / Landus Business Park axes. Mexican software houses — Wizeline, Altoros, Coppel, KIO Networks, Dataclay, Brive, ToDo Office, plus the US nearshore shops Globant, Softtek and Xal Digital — operate in Providencia and the Americas corridor. Add the agtech and e-commerce crowd that grew up around the tequila exports, and you have the densest concentration of white-collar knowledge workers in the Bajío.
On the manufacturing side, Guadalajara is also where Foxconn, Flex (Flextronics), Jabil, Sanmina, Benchmark Electronics and other electronics contract manufacturers run their Mexico operations — the Guadalajara campus and the surrounding Jalisco cluster are part of the North American printed-circuit-board supply chain that stretches from Tijuana down through Monterrey and back up to Texas. And, of course, the city sits at the heart of Mexico's agave and tequila exports: Casa Cuervo (Jose Cuervo), Becle (Patrón), Casa Lumbre, Fortaleza, Siete Leguas, Tequila Fortaleza, Don Julio, Herradura, Olmeca, and dozens of premium craft distilleries run their production, packaging and visitor centres within a 90-minute drive of the city. GDL International Airport (Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla) is the cargo gateway for both the electronics supply chain and the bottled exports — meaning the city has the air-cargo infrastructure for fast international freight too.
