Tariff Mitigation with TACNA Manufacturing

Thanks in large part to trade agreements made between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, maquiladoras (manufacturing plants owned by foreign companies) are very common in the city of Ensenada and have thrived in the region for decades. International businesses are discovering that Ensenada and other cities in Mexico have as many or more advantages when compared to China and other low cost geographies for manufacturing in foreign countries. Mexico’s IMMEX program, which allows for the transformation of goods in Mexico without the need to pay VAT, has only increased the advantages.

O’neill, Fender Guitars, 3M, Coca-Cola, Colgate, Red Bull, Nike, Nestlé, Kimberly-Clark, Unilever, Dialight, Sony, PepsiCo, ICU medical and Hutchinson Aerospace are just some of the International companies who have chosen to establish manufacturing facilities in Ensenada.
