Mexico automotive industry expected to restart operations

In preparation for the June 1, 2020 restart date, the Mexican government has asked companies to implement the guidelines and recommendations published by the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare and the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS). Companies may have limited staff working between May 18 and May 31 to implement these changes. If implementation of health and security protocols are completed and approved prior to June 1, 2020, companies may begin operations immediately.

This decision by the Mexican government is partly a result of mounting pressure from the North American business community and the U.S. government to align critical supply chains and industries. The automotive industry in the United States will restart operations on May 18, and it’s unclear how this potential delay in the Mexican supply base will impact the North American automotive industry.

It’s important that companies comply with all government-issued guidelines and recommendations as they restart operations.
