“The closure of U.S.-Mexico border crossings in Texas will greatly impact California’s manufacturing sector.
Our industry relies on efficient logistics and uninterrupted supply chains, and any delays at the border can have a cascading impact on production, jobs, and economic growth. It is imperative that stakeholders work together to find swift and effective solutions, safeguarding the resilience of the manufacturing landscape in California and beyond.
The California Manufacturers & Technology Association (CMTA) will do what it can to support our state’s leaders to ensure the smooth flow of goods.”
