Grupo Industrial Saltillo, with eight business units, shows the link and how NAFTA's market access is accelerating this corporation's global evolution. More than half its roughly $1 billion in sales last year went to the U.S., Canada, Japan and Australia, and 84% was auto parts. That will expand when a $136 million engine factory, a joint venture with Caterpillar, opens next year.

...crazy. We had two days to shoot the whole thing. On Sunday, I shot for about 11 hours, and on Saturday we had a six- or seven-hour shoot. After you expand that for production times and getting everything ready, you’ve got 12-hour days. I had four SAG [Screen Actors Guild] actors in this, which was pretty crazy because the week before we shot I had to go to SAG and get all their paperwork done, as well as building the fake Torah at night and going to the synagogue to make sure everything was there...
