Maquiladora is a concept developed with the introduction of the Free Trade Zone established between Mexico and the United States. A U.S. manufacturing plant ships raw materials or components inbound to their plant in Mexico for assembly, taking advantage of an extensive labor pool and low Mexican labor rates. The finished product is then shipped back to the United States for distribution to various markets.

The NOVA/LINK partnership concept opens up the Mexico opportunity to companies considering offshore manufacturing as a cost effective alternative. Once you make the decision to relocate all or part of your operation in Mexico, NOVA/LINK can have you manufacturing within weeks.

Manufacturing in Mexico under the NOVA/LINK program offers many benefits by the structure of the program alone.
