Tijuana: North America's Largest Medical Manufacturing Hub
Mexican border cities such as Tijuana, located just 20 minutes south of San Diego, California, have invested heavily in manufacturing industry infrastructure. Approximately 70% of the world's largest medical device and orthopedic manufacturers have operations in Tijuana, including the major mainstays CareFusion, Greatbatch Medical, DJO Global, Medtronics, Smiths, and Cardinal Health.
Now, the largest medical device manufacturing hub in North America, Tijuana offers opportunities like a frontier town, but with the physical, governmental and utilities infrastructure of a modern city keen on keeping business moving. Well-maintained highways, significant investments in commercial ports of entry by both US and Mexican customs, and governmental and private sector support staff, are all aimed at creating a cost-effective and efficient environment for manufacturers to thrive and grow.
