I’ve heard that the pollution and safety laws are looser in Mexico. Is that true?
For the Maquiladora industry, the answer is a definite “NO”. We follow all U. S. EPA and OSHA rules dealing with the workplace. There are three Mexican regulatory agencies that inspect us on a regular basis. Do not go to Mexico thinking that you can skirt the safety and environmental regulations of the U. S. A. After all this commentary, we hope you realize that the rewards in Mexico fall outweigh the restrictions. We are here to help you. There probably isn’t an ideal country or location for all your needs, but after honestly weighing the factors, Mexico and particularly Nogales, Sonora should be looked at as an attractive place to do business.
