Maquiladora Plants in McAllen, Texas

What is a maquiladora plant? It is a company that has been granted a Maquila Program under the US-Mexico Maquila Decree, and one that regularly exports its production, notwithstanding any future sales in the Mexican Market, which are limited to the specific percentages allowed by the Maquila Decree. Commonly, the maquiladoras are known as "twin plants," with a facility on both the US and Mexico sides of the border.
