Contract manufacturing in China, contract manufacturing in Mexico, shelter programs, trying to negotiate the entire process yourself… Lots of options, some good, some not so good, some risky, others capital intensive. It’s difficult to decide where to begin, or what works best for your particular application. With decades of experience in the offshore manufacturing industry, we’ve found the corporate shelter program in Tijuana, Mexico is the best fit for most North American firms, and we’ve helped Asian companies as well.

Contract manufacturing in China wouldn’t be our first recommendation, as it offers the exact opposite of what we do. We’re an American company located in San Diego, California. Our manufacturing operations are just a quick drive across the border, easily accessible from our U.S. offices and to our clients as well. In fact, our clients have a production supervisor in their factory, assuring their high quality standards are met. Company executives can take an inexpensive flight to San Diego and check on the operation quickly and easily. If your product is being manufactured in China, keeping an eye on production quality or zipping over for a day or two to check-up on things isn’t possible. As far as production costs go, the two locations are comparable, but when your product is produced or assembled in Tijuana, the logistics give you an edge for transport to US and Pacific Rim markets.

"...your maquiladora is up and going in as few as four weeks!"

The Corporate Shelter Program

Border Assembly, Inc. offers a corporate shelter program in Tijuana with these and a multitude of other advantages over contract manufacturing in China, or for that matter, contract manufacturing in Mexico or any other region in the world.

Skilled, conscientious labor

an excellent transportation network

and ample building space available to lease or buy at reasonable prices all

give Tijuana a decided edge over other options.

Our shelter program works like this…

• You decide how much space and labor you need to make your product.
  
  
• We find a few suitable buildings for you to choose from to lease or buy.
  
  
• We do all of the administrative, tax and legal filings required to establish your operation.
  
  
• You move or purchase the equipment necessary for your manufacturing process, we hire the staff, you assign a production supervisor, and your maquiladora is up and going in as few as four weeks!
  
  

It’s that simple. Once operating, you can expect the same or better product quality while cutting your labor costs in half.
