Queretaro, Qro. Small and medium businesses (SMEs) locals, from the tertiary sector, seek to join the supply chains of large companies, estimating to close potential business for 50 million pesos through the first Commercial Business Meeting Querétaro 2022.

The event -coordinated by the Mexico Competitiveness Center (CCMX) and state business organizations – will have 130 purchase requirements, including packaging, equipment, freight services, maintenance, industrial assembly, stationery, paints, civil works, uniforms, foreign trade experts, among others, according to information from the Secretariat of Sustainable Development (Headquarters).

In this event, inaugurated on June 7, 300 SMEs that registered as suppliers and 11 purchasing companies participate: among them Bepensa, GEPP (Pepsico), José Cuervo, TF Víctor, Dacomsa, Kuo, Fritec, UNAM Stores, Mobility ADO, Coppel and Cemex.

The director of CCMX, Juan Carlos Ostolaza, highlighted that in two days local SMEs will be able to offer their products and services to purchasing companies. “The aim is to bring together the supplier with the large buyers, including companies from the council.”

“SMEs have opportunities to increase their sales, through access to new customers, while large companies are finding local suppliers that have greater added value. At the national level, micro, small and medium-sized companies are the pillar of the economy and in the state of Querétaro it is no exception”, he explained.

In the state, he contextualized, 98% of the economic units are small and medium-sized companies that employ about 26.5% of the personnel employed in the entity.

“After a long period caused by the Covid-19 contingency, today we can carry out these meetings physically (…) From the CCMX we continue to prepare SMEs so that they can become suppliers and enter the supply chains of these large companies”, he said.

The President of Linking the Association of Industrial MSMEs (friend) Jannet Monserrat Galván Alanís, highlighted that local companies have been trained and are ready to be suppliers to large companies.

the secretary of Sustainable Development of QuerétaroMarco Antonio del Prete Tercero, abounded that the SMEs that manage to insert themselves in global value chains, or that take their products to the foreign market, pay an average of 30% more to their collaborators.

Therefore, he highlighted the importance of local companies joining the supply chain of large firms, including those that come to invest in the entity.

“Although we are attracting large companies that settle in the state, what we want is for these large companies to link with small ones,” he said.

The challenge for SMEs to join these global value chains is great, but it offers unparalleled benefits to democratize opportunities among SMEs, he explained.

Prior to the link that will be generated in this business meeting, he deepened, there is a process of training and formalization of SMEs, in order to increase the probability of generating supply contracts.
