Manufacturing in Mexico: Part 1 in a 3-Part News Series by Collectron

Nogales, AZ (12/07/10) – Collectron International Management Inc., the original Maquiladora Shelter Program Provider, has evolved maquiladoras – manufacturing facilities in Mexico – from their blue-collar beginnings to the high-tech manufacturing present. In addition to the manufacturing needs that have always sustained maquiladoras, today’s maquiladoras are oriented toward research, design and development. They rely on highly skilled labor such as specialized engineers and technicians, many of whom are third generation professionals. The highly educated and skilled workforce behind the new era of maquiladoras has helped transform Mexico, and Collectron believes they can do the same for U.S. businesses in any industry interested in manufacturing in Mexico.
Because Collectron has provided maquiladora services for more than 40 years, its team has the know-how and depth of understanding necessary to tap into Mexico’s vast resources to staff plants with industry-specific technicians, operations professionals, and administrative staff, while still reducing labor costs. Since 1969, Collectron’s Shelter Program has allowed manufacturers to test Mexican productivity and product cost savings before committing to incorporating in Mexico and forming a Mexican subsidiary. Collectron’s customized Shelter Program helps businesses establish and grow their enterprise as a stepping stone toward full maquiladora status. Collectron can facilitate the maquiladora process step-by-step and ensure that companies manufacturing in Sonora directly benefit from the numerous advantages that Mexico has to offer. Companies interested in utilizing a Shelter Program will be pleased to know Collectron practices just-in-time manufacturing and operates under global quality management standards.
