Do you want to know what are government incentives for manufacturing in Mexico? We chose Tijuana to tell you which incentives are offered at a local, state, and federal level so that you have all the necessary information to make a wise choice.
Manufacturing in Mexico
Maquiladoras are the best program to invest in Mexico. When a foreign company wants to manufacture its products in another country, it should analyze the benefits it would get. In Mexico, the joint collaboration between industry and government creates solutions that benefit investors.
The main attraction of maquiladoras in Mexico is that companies do not pay the general import tax for raw materials brought to the country.
