Abstract
Mexico, through the maquiladora option, is becoming an increasingly attractive “offshore” manufacturing site. For some U.S. companies crossing the 2,000 mile common border with Mexico is really not very new. Large U.S. firms such as General Motors and Ford, and smaller U.S. firms like Pulse Engineering, have used Maquiladoras for at least two decades. Other U.S. firms, including General Electric, Honeywell, International Rectifier, Fisher Price, Mattel, Kendall and American Home Products followed suit.
