Your Mexico supplier isn't working out — or you need more options. We find what fits.

You already started looking in Mexico, but the results aren't there yet — quality is slipping, prices feel high, your shortlist needs verification, your current supplier needs an audit, or you simply need more options to reduce risk or scale up. BLACKETT finds Mexican manufacturers that fit your standards, validates them in person, and connects you directly. Eight years working cross-border with U.S. and Canadian companies.

Your Situation

Six situations where Advanced Sourcing applies.

Most companies with a head start in Mexico arrive with one of these situations. If you recognize yours below, you are in the right place.

01

You have a supplier that is failing you.

Quality slipping, deliveries late, communication breaking down. You need alternatives validated and ready before the next disruption hits production.

02

You suspect you are overpaying.

You want a benchmark from comparable manufacturers — original quotes, no markup, and the landed cost side by side, so you know exactly where you stand against the broader market.

03

You started looking in Mexico but the suppliers you found don't match your specs.

You have looked at directories, made inquiries, but none of the responses match your specifications, certifications, or scale.

04

You want to expand your Mexican supplier base.

You have a working supplier, but you want more options — for resilience, capacity expansion, or to reduce single-source risk. We find alternatives that fit your standards and operational needs.

05

You have a shortlist and need it audited before committing.

Two or three candidates on the table. You want someone on the ground who can verify capacity, certifications, financial signals, and operational reality before you commit.

06

You want to visit Mexican plants and need it coordinated.

You are ready to travel. We arrange pre-qualified facilities, custom itinerary, transportation, security, and translation. Optional, scoped on request.

How It Works

From your first call to clarity in your hands.

Every engagement follows the same structure. Wherever you start, the path forward is consistent.

01
Discovery Call

60-minute working session. You bring what you have — your supplier issues, your shortlist, your specifications, your problem. We map gaps, recommend approach. Within 48 hours, your Project Proposal arrives — with scope, pricing, and timeline locked in. You have 10 business days to review with your team and decide. The $500 USD from the Discovery Call is credited toward your final invoice when you move forward.

02
Find and Validate

After proposal acceptance and payment, we sign a mutual NDA and start the work — searching for alternatives that fit your needs, expanding your manufacturer base, validating your shortlist, auditing your current supplier, supporting Spanish negotiations, or coordinating plant visits in Mexico. Findings documented and shared with you throughout.

03
Delivery and Support

Final report and presentation session. You receive the validated alternatives, audit findings, or negotiation outcomes — depending on your scope. The relationship is yours. For 3 months after delivery, we stay reachable for questions, follow-ups, or additional context — included.

Why BLACKETT

Why companies choose BLACKETT.

No commissions. Ever.

We do not take any payment from manufacturers — not commissions, not finder's fees, not hidden percentages on quotes. Our only client is you. The manufacturers we recommend are the ones we believe fit your business, not the ones who pay us behind the scenes.

You own the relationship from day one.

The introductions we make are direct, with full contact details handed to you. You decide whether to keep BLACKETT involved or work with manufacturers independently. No lock-in, no gatekeeping, no dependency.

Eight years in cross-border Mexico–U.S.–Canada operations.

BLACKETT is built and run by Hugo Rubio, based in Guadalajara, with eight years of cross-border sourcing and logistics experience. Real relationships with Mexican manufacturers, freight forwarders, customs brokers, and the regulatory ecosystem across North America. We do not approach Mexico as outsiders learning the market — we operate inside it.

U.S.-registered, bilingual operations.

BLACKETT operates under Tiny Brands LLC, a Wyoming-registered entity. International contracts, USD invoicing, clear legal accountability. Communications with you in professional English. Negotiations with Mexican manufacturers in native Spanish.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Why a Discovery Call if I already have a supplier?+

The Discovery Call is where we understand where you are today, what is working, what is not, and what scope of work fits your situation. You leave with a Project Proposal regardless of what comes next — even if you decide not to move forward with us, the Proposal is yours to keep.

How is pricing determined?+

Pricing is scoped after the Discovery Call, based on the complexity of your situation and the depth of work required. Every proposal is built around your specific scope. The $500 USD from the Discovery Call is credited in full toward the project fee.

How long does a project take?+

Most projects run 2 to 6 weeks from kickoff to delivery, depending on the complexity of your situation and the depth of work required. Highly specialized or technical projects may extend beyond that timeline — we discuss this directly in your Discovery Call so the proposal reflects what your situation actually needs.

When do I pay?+

The full project fee is paid after you confirm the engagement and the scope is finalized — typically within the 10 business days following your Project Proposal. Once confirmed, the full project fee is paid upfront before work begins. This structure ensures the scope is locked, the team is fully committed, and the work moves forward without payment disruptions or scope creep. In exchange, you receive a fixed price with no surprises, a defined timeline, and three months of post-project support included. Any additional services or expanded scope you request later are scoped and quoted separately, with your approval.

Do you take any payment from manufacturers?+

No. No commissions, finder's fees, or hidden markups. Our only client is you.

How do you make sure the manufacturers you recommend are the right fit?+

Every recommended manufacturer is verified through capacity assessment, certification audits, financial signal checks, and on-site visits where the project requires them. Our work is to find the manufacturers that best fit your specifications, certifications, and operational needs — and to give you the complete information to make an informed decision. After delivery, you have 3 months of post-project support included, and we stay reachable for follow-up questions or additional context.

Can you help with shipping and logistics from Mexico?+

Yes. We are not a freight forwarder or customs broker, but we coordinate the full logistics operation when your situation calls for it. Depending on what works for you, you have two paths. If you already have logistics infrastructure on your side, that is completely fine — we can share recommendations from our network of verified carriers, customs brokers, and warehouses so you have trusted options whenever you need them. If you prefer that BLACKETT handles the full coordination — carrier selection, customs brokerage, USMCA strategy, warehousing, tracking, and incident resolution — we bring in the network we have built over eight years inside the Mexico–U.S.–Canada corridor. Either way, the goal is the same: your cargo arrives at the door of your business, on time, with the right paperwork, at the right cost. We discuss what makes sense for you during your Discovery Call.

When does the 10-day window start?+

The 10-day window starts when you receive your Project Proposal — which arrives within 48 hours after your Discovery Call. From that moment, you have 10 business days to review the Proposal with your team, request any refinements or adjustments to the scope, and confirm whether you want to move forward with the project. The first 5 business days are typically used to review the Proposal and confirm the engagement. The next 5 business days are reserved for refinements so the project is built exactly around what you need. If you decide to engage BLACKETT within those 10 days, the $500 USD from your Discovery Call is credited in full toward the project. There is no rush — the window simply ensures the Proposal stays current and the work moves forward at a professional pace.
