Mexico Shelter Company Services for Manufacturing

Expanding or relocating manufacturing operations into Mexico offers many competitive advantages for companies looking to keep ahead of the competition. Shelter operations are a popular choice for businesses looking to “test the waters” when it comes to offshoring. Shelter Manufacturing in Mexico offers unique advantages and opportunities for companies to set up a maquiladora program which allows them to forego establishing themselves as a foreign subsidiary, which is standard in most countries. Capitalizing on the benefits of shelter service providers will (as well as NAFTA’s bilateral trade agreements) ultimately reduce both time and costs.

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 Mexico but still benefit from all government tax and duty abatement programs, such as the IMMEX Program (formally 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. Below is a list of advantages associated with operating under a NAPS Mexico shelter corporation.

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

Operating under a NAPS Mexico shelter corporation does not preclude a company from having their own name, facility, or corporate culture in Mexico. In fact, every one of NAPS’ clients operates under their own roof, implements their own processes and procedures and sets the culture of their factory. NAPS is there to provide exceptional administration and compliance management support without interfering in other areas of the operation and production quality. Whether a company chooses to operate under a NAPS Mexico shelter corporation or under their own Mexican legal entity, NAPS provides the exact same service under both scenarios.
