Tecate Baja California Manufacturing

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 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. 

Major Manufacturers in Tecate

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.

"Tecate has its own border crossing, state-of-the-art industrial parks and special attention and support from local government economic development officials. There is enough infrastructure to support most any operation.”
