General Motors revealed that it purchased $15.1 billion in parts from suppliers in Mexico in 2015, 7.6% more than the amount purchased in 2014. The increase in purchases moves Mexico into the position of GM’s second-largest global supplier of components, with Mexican-manufactured products accounting for around 19% of all global parts purchases last year. Only the United States contributed more materials to GM’s global supply chain.
