ABOUT US
Our core business is bridging the gap between Canadian and Mexican companies. Our professional, fractional team acts as yours, giving you offices and staff in both countries whenever you need us.
Our principal Dave Archer, also known as The Export Coach, is 100% focused on doing everything possible to help Canadian companies generate more export sales. A three-time Export Award winner and Lead Facilitator for the Toronto World Trade Centre’s award-winning Trade Accelerator Program (TAP), he has done business in over 40 countries during his 25+ year career – and his experience and insights are now available to all Canadian companies that are serious about growing globally.
WHY CAN-MEX?
We believe more Canadian companies would do business in Mexico if
they had the right tools, knowledge, and partner to do so.
Our sole purpose is to help Canadian companies do business successfully in the Mexican market. The
most rewarding outcome we can possibly achieve is “handing over the keys” to our partners
after we have launched them in Mexico. We really do care about the companies we partner
with, and use our extensive experience and on-the-ground presence, resources
and network to help ensure that all of them succeed.
Many of our activities and services QUALIFY for government funding –
the CanExport grant, for example. Ask us about it!

BOOSTING BUSINESSES INTO MEXICO
Some case studies of our work are below. We have not included company names to respect their online privacy; references are available upon request.
Project Type: Sales In Mexico
Mexico
Stamping die manufacturer in Kitchener, Ontario
Client needed more sales when things were slow in Canada. Their Sales Manager knew Dave and asked if Mexico could be an option. Travelled there together and discovered that there was indeed a huge opportunity. Initial sale, which took a year to secure, was US$ 600,000. More sales followed, and customers suggested a local presence would help them buy more. Client decided to open a plant, hired their own staff, and that plant now accounts for 40% of its total sales.
$36,000 Invested
$10,000,000+ Sales Growth
Duration - 2 Years
Investment of $4,500
Immediate Sales Rebounded 100%
Duration 3 Days
Project Type: Distributor Development
Mexico
Grain supplier in Winnipeg, Manitoba
Client already had three distributors in Mexico, but sales were declining due to competition from ex-employee. Escorted their Sales Manager on 3-day trip to Mexico to introduce them personally and develop important personal relationships. Sales rebounded immediately and quickly surpassed previous levels. Client continued successfully on their own.
I was a little afraid to go to Mexico quite frankly. But after spending three days with Dave travelling to meet our distributors there, I am now confident that I can go there on my own to continue building the relationships I established.
We were not convinced that Mexico was for us, but Dave got us started and opened the door for us. Now we are so busy there that we’ve opened a manufacturing plant in Querétaro.
Dave knows what he’s doing in Mexico, is committed and easy to work with, and truly cares about us and our success. We could not have done this without him.
We speak both English and Spanish.
