You have to pay the manufacturers employee, building (lots of space for drying), electricity, non-producing employees (front of house), equipment (kiln, pallets, forklift, loading dock), distributor, freight forwarder, customs clearance broker, drayage to distributors warehouse, warehouse (again), staffing, consumables on their end, taxes, health insurance, workers comp insurance, SS insurance, non-producing employees, travel to outlet, their staff and equipment, their insurances, installers, their insurance & taxes, installation consumables, tradesman, and installation equipment. That’s why it’s called an INDUSTRY!
@@pinchevulpes it took you 6 years to come up with that? Meanwhile that laborer or has been replaced 3 times. Mexico has one of the worst labor rates in Latin America and an average of 27.4% move on to a new employer, 6.6% who are not working one year later, due to retirement or long-term sickness (great workers comp system there, not!). Two thirds of employees remain in the same organisation from one year to the next. Essentially labour is the easiest to replace in the supply chain I provided. Thanks for proving my point for me.
@@benthepi it takes about 6 years for new trade agreements to take hold. Mexico has signed NAFTA since then which puts industry back at capacity since China is collapsing (not the case 6 years ago), grow up you back yard contractor. The world is bigger than you can comprehend
The pride in the workmanship and beauty of these tiles is part of the reason why I'm putting Saltillo tile throughout my entire home ❤
This is fascinating! Thank you for sharing it.
This craft is a lost art! Love it

All that work & they maybe get $5 for the day and they sell it for thousands when its installed.

What is the white liquid they dip tiles in?
