In March, a Bombardier Global 7500 business jet powered by a pair of GE engines set a world record by flying nonstop from Singapore to Tucson, Arizona. The plane, which covered 8,152 nautical miles (9,350 miles) in 16 hours and 6 minutes, landed with 4,300 pounds of fuel to spare — enough to fly for another 90 minutes — according to the Montreal-based plane maker.

In 2005, Bombardier, the Canadian aerospace and transportation company, opened the doors of a factory in Querétaro, Mexico. At the time, the move seemed like a serious gamble. Though Mexico offered low wages compared to Canada, could it provide Bombardier with the environment required for such a highly technical manufacturing plant?
 

Almost 10 years later, it is clear that the gamble paid off. The factory has flourished and employs more than 1,800 workers. Bombardier continues to generate profits from its Mexico plants and is expanding there.
