喜高：将制造业转移到墨西哥、加勒比地区或中美洲？(Hayco: Moving Manufacturing to the Caribbean, Mexico, or Central America - Simplified Chinese version)

2018年，全球顶级刷具行业合约制造商喜高(Hayco)的总裁兼首席执行官克里斯托弗·海一直在寻找新的业务地点，因为总部位于中国香港的劳动成本在过去十多年里一直在上涨。由于2018年4月美国政府宣布对中国产品征收关税，公司加速了寻找新址的步伐。喜高希望找到一个靠近美国和欧洲市场的地点，那里的劳动力成本仍然相对较低，初期需要超过一千名员工，并且没有关税威胁。他的关注点集中在墨西哥、加勒比地区和中美洲。并考虑以下问题，例如：“喜高应该将其业务迁移到哪个市场才是最佳选择？是独立建立一个新的子公司，还是设在经济特区内？”

In 2018, Christopher Hay, president and chief executive officer of Hayco, the top contract manufacturer to the brush industry globally, had been looking for a new location for some of its operations due to over a decade of rising labour costs in Hong Kong, China, where the company was based. The company accelerated its search in response to the US government’s announcement of tariffs against Chinese products in April 2018. Hayco was seeking a location closer to the US and European markets where labour costs were still low for an initial workforce of over one thousand employees and where there was no threat of tariffs. Hay’s focus was on Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America. Hay considered questions such as, “What is the best market to which Hayco could move its operations? Should it establish a new subsidiary on its own or locate within a special economic zone?”
