Ciudad Juarez: Manufacturing Experience

Birth and Evolution of the Mexican Maquiladora Industry: From Bracero Program's End to Cross-Border Manufacturing Hub

In 1965 after the abolishment of the United States Bracero Program for temporary farm labor, the Mexican maquiladora industry was born in Ciudad Juarez. Located just south of El Paso, Texas, the Mexican government sought to tackle unemployment in the communities along the border. Shelter companies in Ciudad Juarez were also born with the Maquiladora Program. 

Of the over 331 manufacturing companies in Ciudad Juarez, 63% are owned by companies from the United States. Japanese companies own 8%, and German companies 7%. Other companies hail from China, France, South Korea, Malaysia, Sweden, and Taiwan.
