IBCON, S.A.
35 years publishing

Ibcon started in 1954 as the Mexican
office of International Business Consultants, Ltd. We created industrial
engineering departments for very well known companies such as Altos Hornos de
México, Aluminio Industrial Mexicano, Celanese Mexicana, Cervecería
Moctezuma. In the sixties, we developed a new line of consulting: industrial
marketing research, later developed into directory publishing. Our Directorio de Centros de Información (Directory of Information
Centers), first published in 1973, started in the sixties as a set of files
to support our own research. Our Directorio de Clientes para Exportar a los
Estados Unidos (Directory of American Prospective Customers) originated after
several market surveys we carried in the United States for Mexican companies.
Instead of researching one product for one company, we mailed questionnaires
to all kind of importers in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada, asking
for what products they would like to get offers from Mexican sources. Directories are usually media for advertising, but we don't accept advertising. Our directories are organized as reference books, to help executives, researchers, librarians, when looking for new opportunities, contacts, developments. Most of them are fully indexed to make them user friendly. Entries are included or excluded, larger or shorter, for the benefit of the user, not the benefit of the entry. We get tips for entries from many sources (you are invited to send us suggestions), and send questionnaires by mail, fax, e-mail and phone. From the answers we make a decision about the entry and give it the appropiate form. But we cannot guarantee the information published, nor assume any responsibility for the results in using it. We thank all kind of corrections and suggestions. |
