Arlington OED Presents to Monterrey
Monterrey, Mexico, a city of 1.1 million just 90 miles
from the Texas-Mexico border, is the commercial
center of northern Mexico. It is home to many
international companies and has major factories that
supply much the US market. Because of its proximity,
booming economy, and major manufacturing sector,
the OED feels there is signifi cant opportunity to do
business in Monterrey.
Because of this, Staff attended the Texas Investment
Summit in Monterrey this February. Organized by
the State of Texas’ Mexico Offi ce, the event was a
half day seminar attracting Mexican companies
interested in doing business in Texas. Arlington
was one of fi ve Texas cities that attended the
conference and gave a presentation about its unique
advantages.
Approximately 25 companies attended the event, including one company the OED was already in communication with about
opening a regional sales offi ce. The event gave OED Staff the opportunity to meet prospective future Arlington businesses and
catch up with valued connections in the State’s Mexico Offi ce. The OED will continue to seek opportunities to get in front of
companies in Monterrey.
