How CEMCUI Finds and Incorporates New Artisanal Workshops
At CEMCUI, we are passionate about bringing the rich heritage of Mexican craftsmanship to the world. We travel across Mexico, exploring every corner to find the finest artisans who embody the talent and quality that our customers deserve. From the stone-carving town of El Seco, Puebla, to the vibrant artisan communities of Oaxaca, our journey is about more than just finding products—it's about building partnerships that last.

Discovering Artisans in Every Rincón of Mexico
Mexico is a country steeped in culture, with each region boasting its own unique artistic traditions. In El Seco, Puebla, a town renowned for its stone craftsmanship, we proudly partner with four workshops that produce stunning molcajetes and other stone pieces. These artisans have honed their skills over generations, and now, through CEMCUI, they have the opportunity to share their craft with the world.
Oaxaca, a state that is home to thousands of talented artisans, is another region where we have strong ties. From intricate textiles to hand-carved wood pieces, the artisans in Oaxaca reflect the vibrant cultural heritage of Mexico. We’re thrilled to partner with many workshops in this region, ensuring their beautiful work reaches a global audience.
Our Process: From Discovery to Global Reach
When we identify a potential workshop, we guide artisans through the necessary steps to meet export documentation requirements. This process can be complex, but we are there to support them every step of the way. Once the paperwork is in place, we begin placing orders and closely evaluate their quality over time. It’s important to us that our artisans can consistently meet the high standards our customers expect.

Building Long-Term Relationships
At CEMCUI, we’re all about creating long-term partnerships. We don’t just ask for products—we collaborate with artisans to develop new pieces that align with both their capabilities and our customers’ desires. By blending traditional techniques with modern designs, we help artisans expand their product lines and open doors to new markets.

Scaling Without Sacrificing Quality
Our workshops must be able to deliver orders weekly and scale their production without sacrificing quality or the authenticity of their artisanal process. We believe in preserving the techniques passed down through generations while ensuring that artisans can grow their businesses and increase sales without compromising the integrity of their work.
Mexico’s Artisans, Now Global
Thanks to CEMCUI, these artisans, once selling their crafts locally, now have the chance to share their beautiful creations worldwide. Whether it’s a molcajete from El Seco or a handwoven textile from Oaxaca, customers can now enjoy authentic, high-quality Mexican craftsmanship in their own homes, knowing that their purchase supports the artisans directly.

A Growing Network of Talent
Today, we proudly collaborate with over 30 workshops across Mexico, from the highlands of Puebla to the vibrant markets of Oaxaca. Every week, we’re excited to welcome new artisans and products into the CEMCUI family, helping to bring the beauty and tradition of Mexican craftsmanship to a global stage.
By supporting CEMCUI, you’re not just purchasing a product—you’re empowering artisans, preserving traditions, and investing in the future of Mexican craftsmanship. ¡Gracias por apoyar a nuestros artesanos!
