Companies outside of Mexico can operate under three models:

• Contract Manufacturing
• Shelter Companies
• Maquiladoras

A shelter company is outsourcing service that allows foreign companies to establish a legal presence in Mexico without having to set up their own infrastructure, legal entity or administrative team. The shelter company provides the real estate, people and performs the regulatory requirements of the Mexico government.  The foreign company is responsible for inventory, equipment and manufacturing processes.

A Maquiladora is a foreign owned company that takes on all the responsibilities required to operate in Mexico.
