Where Business is Headed

Juarez is El Paso’s sister city and pioneered the twin plant “maquila” industry which launched over 40 industrial parks.  The “maquila” industry allows special fiscal advantages for manufacturing facilities with non-Mexican ownership.  This environment provides a cost-efficient, bilingual business climate with a strong infrastructure in place supported by an eager and skilled labor force.

The commute from El Paso to Juarez is highly efficient due to a Dedicated Commuter Lane (DCL) that allows vehicles with a DCL permit to cross back into El Paso in minutes.
