MISSION, Texas, Aug. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Rio South Texas is located where Texas, Mexico, and the Gulf of Mexico all meet. It is a region where a bi-national ecosystem facilitated by the Unites States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) allows manufacturing companies to benefit from the best of what both the U.S and Mexico have to offer. The region’s multimodal logistics infrastructure facilitates trade swiftly and cost-effectively, be it by truck, train, barge, ship, or airplane, placing Rio South Texas at the heart of the North American supply chain. And with SpaceX operations at Starbase, Texas located in the region, in the future, even the sky may no longer be the limit.

In other words, Rio South Texas is rich in resources and potential for manufacturing companies looking to solidify or expand their North American operations.
