Frequently Asked Questions

What is an electronics contract manufacturing company? 

Contract manufacturing companies, such as Coastline International, work with companies like yours to handle all your manufacturing needs. From acquiring the raw materials, overseeing the entire production process, and shipping/transporting of the finished product, contract manufacturers handle all aspects of manufacturing so you don’t have to. 

When it comes to electronics, these manufacturing companies work through the entire process -  design, assembly/manufacturing, and testing of electronic goods - before they transport the finished goods.  We can also provide support for specific subassemblies in the event further processing is required for the finished goods. 

What are the benefits of Mexico electronics manufacturing? 

Outsourcing your manufacturing is always a smart business decision. But opting to stay close to home (known as nearshoring) using electronics contract manufacturing in Mexico is the best choice. This is primarily due to all the benefits, including: 

  • Faster and more convenient shipping than other outsourcing locations. Mexico is a day trip from anywhere in the U.S. which means the shipping and transportation of finished goods can happen quickly. In some instances, same-day and next-day delivery may be possible. 
  • A quality workforce that meets high-performance standards. They are trained and adaptable to meet the needs of your product. 
  • Easy communication with your manufacturer. When your manufacturing is outsourced, communication is key. Being in (or near) the same time zone helps with communication during business hours. And, if a trip to the facility is warranted, you can make it there and back the same day if necessary. 
  • Protection for your Intellectual Property. Unlike other areas known for their contract manufacturing, Mexico is a trusted partner that you can hold accountable.
  • Tax benefits. The Maquiladora program provides tax exemptions and reduced tariffs to foreign countries that decide to operate in Mexico. Plus, you can export products to the U.S. at reduced tariffs.

Will I encounter any issues with transporting my materials/finished goods to and from Mexico? 

Absolutely not. In fact, it is easier and safer for your materials and finished goods to travel in and out of Tijuana, Mexico (the location of our facility) rather than any other popular outsourcing country. Thanks to trade agreements, less restrictive import of raw materials, and being in close proximity to the United States, shipping and transportation are relatively easy. 

You won’t find your finished goods sitting out in open waters for weeks making it from one continent to another. And you won’t pay heavy transportation costs, either. Your goods can be shipped quickly in a flexible and cost-effective manner.
