Who we are
Mercas is a U.S.-owned sourcing agency helping Western brands access trusted, cost-effective manufacturers across Latin America.
Born out of frustration with unreliable overseas production, we created Mercas to simplify sourcing and investing into better supply chains across Latin America.
Our Mission
To connect small and medium-sized businesses in the U.S. with high-quality manufacturers across Latin America, streamlining sourcing through local relationships, hands-on support, and transparent communication.
Our Story
Mercas was founded by three friends with backgrounds from Honduras, Colombia, and Peru, who met in College. We shared the same vision: to build something that could create real opportunity back home in Latin America. We saw firsthand how global supply chains were shifting—and how the manufacturing potential across our regions were still underutilized and misunderstood.
What started as a few conversations between classmates turned into a shared mission: to make Latin American manufacturing more accessible, transparent, and competitive for businesses abroad. Today, Mercas helps companies of all sizes tap into the power of nearshoring—not just for lower costs or faster timelines, but for building lasting partnerships rooted in trust, proximity, and shared growth.
Let’s work together.
