Maquiladora in Mexico FAQ’s

The IMMEX program is a manufacturing solution created in the 1960’s to utilize preferential tariff agreements between the U.S. and Mexico & to encourage foreign investment in that country. The IMMEX program is an acronym in Spanish for “Manufacturing, Maquila and Export Services Industries Program” (Industría Manufacturera Maquiladora y de Servicio de Exportación).

What Are The Benefits to Using the Maquiladora?

U.S.-based businesses benefit from low cost, quality, and availability of labor, as well as proximity to markets. Other benefits of operating through a Maquiladora include:

  • Unlimited duty-free imports
  • Unlimited foreign capital investment
  • Limitless options for type or amount of product that can be manufactured
  • Reduced manufacturing costs
  • High-quality product
  • Reduced transport time and cost (specifically in comparison to manufacturing in eastern countries)

According to the Wall Street Journal: “Mexico has remained consistent with costs and taxing, which allows companies to plan budgetary needs in advance and avoid any surprises that may set them back. It has also permitted U.S. companies to rely on Mexico as a manufacturing partner. As of 2015, 90% of Fortune 500 companies have investments in Mexico, making the maquiladora industry vital to the U.S. economy.”

What Role Does the Maquiladora Play in the Mexican Economy?

Maquiladoras are also vital to the Mexican economy. According to the Maquiladora Guide: Doing Business in Mexico, which was published by PriceWaterhouseCoopers, “Maquiladoras are the foundation on which Mexico’s GDP is built, and without their support the Mexican economy would suffer. Maquiladoras are responsible for more than 65 percent of the country’s manufacturing exports, and employ 80 percent of the manufacturing labor force.”

What Benefit Does the Maquiladora Provide for U.S. Manufacturing?

As a result of a manufacturing revival in the Americas, the Maquiladora industry is currently experiencing growth. According to a study by the Federal Reserve, “Whereas China benefitted tremendously when the country entered the World Trade Organization in 2001, today the pendulum is swinging back. China’s GDP climbed from approximately $2 trillion in 2005 to just under $11 trillion in 2015 and as the country grew wages nearly quintupled over the same time horizon, making China less competitive today. Trade agreements between the U.S. and Mexico, and Mexico’s reliance on maquiladoras have led to stable and consistent costs of labor, which are major benefitting factors for companies looking to outsource some or all of their manufacturing needs.”

How Does a Maquiladora Differ From a Regular Factory?

Maquiladoras in Mexico are factories that operate under preferential tariff programs set up and administered by the American and Mexican governments. Material, components, and production equipment used in maquiladoras are allowed to enter Mexico duty-free. Maquiladoras are also often referred to as “Shelter manufacturing services“.
