WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ModusLink Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc.(NASDAQ: MLNK), a global, omni-channel technology and fulfillment provider, today announced it has strengthened the competitiveness of its solutions center in Guadalajara, Mexico by securing AAA Status Certification for Ley del Impuesto al Valor Agregado (IVA) (Value Added Tax) and Ley del Impuesto al Valor Agregado (IEPS) (Product and Services Tax).

This certification, which is awarded by the Mexican Treasury Department, is issued to companies in good financial standing that, by being tax-abiding entities, are current on declarations and payments, and have a positive proven track record for fiscal and customs compliance.

For ModusLink’s customers, this certification allows for nearshoring of manufacturing and fulfillment operations in Guadalajara, without exposing them to financial cost for the payment of Value Added Tax and IEPS on temporarily imported goods meant for export. The certification means freeing up capital for ModusLink’s customers who select to operate out of Guadalajara.

“With this certification in place, our Guadalajara solutions center can give North American, European and Latin American companies alike a strong nearshoring partner that can help them get products to consumers quickly and effectively,” said Scott Smith, Chief Commercial Officer of ModusLink. “We are very proud to have obtained this certification as it reflects the caliber of work and standards that we hold our solution centers to.”

AAA certification allows manufacturing clients a lower financial cost when importing certain goods into Mexico temporarily; including raw materials, machinery and equipment.

Established in 1999, ModusLink’s Guadalajara solution center is strategically located in Mexico’s “Silicon Valley.” The solution center specializes in providing content manufacturing solutions to high-technology and e-commerce clients in addition to providing supply chain management services, such as assembly solutions, co-location and fulfillment.
