Shelter Services in Mexico for Manufacturing

Expanding or relocating manufacturing operations into Mexico offers many competitive advantages for companies looking to keep ahead of the competition.

Shelter services and shelter operations in Mexico are a popular choice for businesses looking to “test the waters” when it comes to offshoring. Shelter manufacturing in Mexico allows companies to forego establishing as a foreign subsidiary, which is standard in most countries, by instead setting up a maquiladora program to quickly begin operating in the country. Setting up as a shelter company offers unique advantages and opportunities for companies.

For imports and exports alike, shelter companies in Mexico are a great option for companies looking to expand their operations into Mexico. Coupled with USMCA’s bilateral trade agreements, capitalizing on the benefits offered by shelter service providers can ultimately reduce both time and costs for businesses across nearly every sector. Whether you prefer expanding into Tijuana, Juarez, Monterrey, or even if you’re not entirely sure, discover the many potential manufacturing locations in Mexico that could work for you and your company.

The shelter model

Approximately 85% of NAPS’ client base chooses to expand to Mexico under “shelter,” which means they operate under a Mexican corporation owned by NAPS. Because these foreign companies have no “legal” presence in Mexico, they also avoid any liability associated with doing business in Mexic—but still benefit from all government tax and duty abatement programs, such as the IMMEX Program (formally the maquiladora program, which allows manufacturing companies to import equipment and raw materials tax-free and manufacture in Mexico, so long as the finished products are exported for sale off Mexican soil) and PROSEC.

Advantages associated with operating under a NAPS Mexico shelter corporation:

  • No Legal Liability in Mexico
  • Reduce Labor Costs
  • Economies of Scale
  • Labor Flexibility (Seasonality)
  • Quicker Start-Up
  • Immediate Access to Special Corporate Certifications (If Needed)
