Tecate Baja California
Mexico’s strategic manufacturing locations offer you unparalleled benefits for your site selection; proximity, ease of doing business, cultural alignment, quality workforce, low cost labor, supply chain and logistics.
Located east of Tijuana, Tecate’s manufacturing industry is stable with 135 manufacturing facilities and over 10,000 manufacturing personnel. Famous for the Tecate beer brewing and bottling plant of its namesake, Tecate also serves the aerospace, electronics, medical device, ceramic and plastics industries with longtime resident giants Schlage Lock (Ingersol Rand) and Rockwell Automation calling Tecate home.
A temperate climate and location just south of San Diego County provide additional draw for business. With a rocky mountain backdrop, access to La Rumorosa and Valle de Guadalupe and colonial style town plaza, Tecate remains a stable and worthy manufacturing location in north eastern Baja California.
Though smaller than its sister manufacturing cities of Tijuana and Mexicali, Tecate Mexico Pueblo Magico (Magical Town) makes it ideal for manufacturers looking for less traffic and the hustle and bustle of a big city while still having access to services, modern infrastructure, and a dedicated border crossing. Tecate has an abundant and skilled labor pool that is said to have a less transient workforce resulting in lower turnover.
Tecate’s manufacturer mainstays show the strength of this city for successful operations while manufacturing in Mexico. Rockwell Automation employs 4,000 people at their Tecate plant and Schlage Locks employs 720. Main industrial parks include Parque Industrial Tecate (“Tecate Gateway”) and the new Parque El Bajio.
Co-Production International currently operates a branch office out of Tecate to serve the growing manufacturing industry. The Tijuana International Airport is located a mere 30 miles east of Tecate, providing easy travel for business and management teams.
“One of the main features that influenced our selection of Tecate for the new facility was its proximity and ease of the closest US border crossing.”
“Tecate is an excellent location for manufacturing. The number of potential new customers located in the Baja California Region is exciting for MRG.”
