Tecate Baja California Manufacturing
Located east of Tijuana, Tecate’s manufacturing industry is stable with 104 manufacturing facilities and over 12,500 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 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.
