Mexico Shelter Plan v. Stand-Alone

The Mexico Shelter Plan offered by The Offshore group is a flexible, cost effective and low-risk alternative to establishing stand-alone maquiladora production facilities.  Under The Offshore Group business model, industry executives are free to focus fully on their core value-added and strategically important production functions, while The Offshore Group handles the critical, but non-core functions that are essential to the day to day operation and to the long term success of the Mexico manufacturer.

The Offshore Group’s Mexico Shelter Plan model saves companies valuable time and money resources in the following ways:

• Provides instantaneous access to the international expertise required to operate in Mexico.  Offshore Group clients are typically manufacturing their products within six months after signing a contract for Mexico manufacturing shelter services.
• Reduces capital investment and legal commitments.  The Offshore Group offers flexible contract for as little as one year on its Mexico industrial real-estate rental agreements, and on the contract for its Mexico Shelter Plan services.
• Increases operating leverage.   When a company grows from a hypothetical workforce of 100 to 150, for example, stand-alone enterprises incur one hundred percent of the cost of such growth.  Cost items could include the addition of accounting, human resources, custom compliance and building maintenance personnel.  Within the context of The Offshore Group’s Mexico Shelter Plan, these are shared services that are affected by positive economies of scale.
• Enhances companies’ capacity to navigate the local business and political culture.  The Offshore Group is the 7th largest maquiladora organization in the Mexican Republic, and is the largest private sector employer in the State of Sonora.  As such, The Offshore Group has extensive contacts at the federal, state and local levels of government.
• Enables companies to focus on that which makes them competitive:  their core Mexico manufacturing functions.
