Foreign transnational companies established branches in Mexico, such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, and Sears (Mexico) under Mexican laws regulating foreign investment.[14] The automotive industry in Mexico already had been established shortly after the end of the military phase of the Mexican Revolution, with Buick became the first automobile producer to be officially established in Mexico in 1921. In 1925, Ford Motor Company was too established and began manufacturing vehicles in the country. With a growing middle class consumer market for such expensive consumer goods, the industrial base of Mexico expanded to meet the demand.
