The United States, Canada, and Mexico are one of the most successful trading blocks in the world. Canada remains the most important border to the United States in terms of trade, and Mexico has grown to be the number 2 foreign market for U.S. products and services – U.S. exports to Mexico exceed U.S. exports to Japan and the UK combined.

It is important to view these three countries in terms of NAFTA, but culturally and logistically you need to view Mexico as the obvious outlier. Whereas, Mexico continues to successfully build strong economic and political ties with the United States, its size, diversity, and complexity is often under-appreciated by U.S. companies.

North America is one of the most progressive trading blocks in the world, and one that rewards entrepreneurs. At Fortune 1 we help you expand geographically from being a regional company to being a national company, to being a full NAFTA player across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico NAFTA zone.
