Our story

 GAPPSmx Established in 2015 

Founded in 2015 by Bo Guillen, GAPPSmx provides end-to-end supply chain management and business development solutions for clients in countries with Free Trade Agreements with Mexico.

Bo, a dual U.S.-Mexican citizen born in California, brings over 25 years of experience across marketing, sourcing, logistics, sales, product development, and production management within the apparel and textile industries. With his deep expertise, GAPPSmx has grown into a dynamic partner for businesses seeking reliable, competitive, and flexible manufacturing solutions.

Initially focused on swimwear and athletic apparel production for European and American brands, GAPPSmx has since expanded its scope to include travel and automotive accessories, baby and children's apparel, socks, shoes, eco-friendly planters, processed foods, and more. To support this growth, GAPPSmx has built strong partnerships with category experts, ensuring clients receive the best factories, materials, and production solutions for their needs.

Our mission is to offer tailored production solutions for companies of all sizes. Whether you're a large corporation seeking alternative sourcing outside of Asia or a small-to-medium-sized business looking for a close-to-market, full-service English-speaking office in Mexico, GAPPSmx is here to provide a competitive edge in both pricing and product development.

As a trusted extension of our clients' operations, GAPPSmx acts as their eyes, ears, and hands on the ground, ensuring production programs run smoothly and meet all requirements. We take pride in being a dependable partner, helping our clients navigate the complexities of the supply chain with confidence and success.

Expanding Mexican Brands into the U.S. and Canadian Markets

In addition to serving U.S. and Canadian companies looking to nearshore their production in Mexico, GAPPSmx is committed to helping established Mexican brands expand into the U.S. and Canadian marketplaces. Many Mexican factories already have well-developed product lines and strong brand recognition in Mexico, but navigating the complexities of international market entry can be a challenge.

GAPPSmx offers tailored consulting and strategic services designed to guide these Mexican companies through the process of entering the U.S. and Canadian markets. From product certification and compliance with North American regulations to market research, branding, and distribution, we provide a comprehensive roadmap to success.
