Meet the Tecma Tijuana managerial team

With the Tecma Group of Companies’ purchase of Made in Mexico, Inc. comes the acquisition of a great depth of Tecma Tijuana managerial talent.

This month, the San Diego, California-based, Made in Mexico, Inc. became a part of the Tecma Group of Companies. The inclusion of Made in Mexico under the Tecma umbrella will bring value to the marketplace of manufacturing company consumers that are seeking to source quality manufacturing support, or “shelter,” services in the maquiladora industry, as well as to the now unified business entities.

Both Tecma and Made in Mexico each have approximately three decades history operating at the highest levels of quality and integrity as the predominant service providers in their respective geographical bases of operations. The Tecma Group wishes to welcome the Tecma Tijuana managerial team into its ranks. Meet Tecma Tijuana’s key staff members:
