The event attracted more than 50 manufacturers, exhibitors, speakers, and government delegates from the widest range of sectors such as Mexican Maquiladoras, Commerce and Service sectors.
Even if the Tecate Maquiladora Industry grew from smaller assembly shops that were originally in Tijuana, it was registered an accelerated industry in the 1980’s.
In Tecate there are around 110 maquiladoras, with fewer than 6,000 employees. Tecate maquiladoras must rely upon Otay Mesa, Tijuana and San Diego for developed airfield and transfer operations. Also most Mexican shelter Companies in Tecate must rely upon Tijuana and San Diego based support companies. A review of Tijuana’s network would be required for new start-ups in the Tecate area.
