With the inaugural meeting of the Mexico City Roundtable on January 23, the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) marked a significant step forward in its efforts to expand its presence in Latin America.
The meeting, held at the Mexico City campus of the research university Tecnológico de Monterrey, kicked off with presentations from CSCMP President and CEO Mark Baxa, Country Manager Javier Zarazúa, and Jonathan Albañil of the logistics service provider Dicka Logistics.
“This event was a remarkable milestone for CSCMP in Mexico, and I look forward to the continued growth of this exceptional community," says Baxa.
The opening presentations were followed by a preview of the “2025 State of the Global Semiconductor Supply Chain Report” by Dale Rogers, ON Semiconductor Professor of Business at Arizona State University of Arizona State University, and a Q&A session with five industry experts.
“The insights shared by Dr. Dale Rogers and the distinguished semiconductor panel underscored the critical role this industry plays on the global stage,” says Baxa.
The second edition of semiconductor report will be released in February. The first edition of the report can be found on CSCMP’s website. The report is free to CSCMP members and $299 for nonmembers.
"This report not only sheds light on the challenges and opportunities shaping the semiconductor landscape but also serves as a call to action for greater collaboration, resilience, and strategic foresight in navigating this ever-evolving sector,” says Baxa.
Mexico City is one of seven new roundtables CSCMP announced in December. The others are Monterrey, Guadalajara, Toronto, Panama City, Portugal, and Sao Paulo. More information about CSCMP roundtables can be found here.
