Contract & Shelter Manufacturing · Protective Packaging
Everything you make and ship, from one plant in Tijuana.
USMEX is an IMMEX-permitted platform minutes from San Diego. We stand up and run contract and shelter production lines for whatever you make — no Mexican entity of your own required — and manufacture the protective packaging that ships it. Closer than Asia, duty-free under USMCA.
What we do
Two lines, one facility.
Manufacturing and protective packaging run side by side under one IMMEX permit. Take whichever line you need — or both.

Where is USMEX located?
In Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico — beside the busiest commercial border crossing in North America and minutes from San Diego, California.
What is the shelter (albergue) model?
