As close as it is, and as friendly as it is, Mexico is still a Foreign Country. Since 1969, Collectron's unique Shelter Plan Program has helped over 180 Companies start-up and operate their Maquiladora Operations in Mexico. The Shelter Plan was designed to allow manufacturers to test Mexican productivity and product cost savings before committing to incorporating in Mexico and forming a Mexican subsidiary.

Collectron's Shelter Plan Program greatly simplifies starting-up and operating a Maquiladora Operation and eliminates long-term commitments, large capital outlays and lengthy start-up schedules. Under the Shelter Plan Program a company's investment in Mexico is limited to: machinery/equipment, materials, the transfer of technology and on-site plant management.

Collectron is the oldest Shelter Plan operator in Mexico. The Company's headquarters are in Nogales, Arizona and its subsidiaries are located and operate in four cities in the State of Sonora, Mexico: Nogales, Santa Ana, Hermosillo and Cd. Obregon.

Collectron's employees are bi-lingual and bi-cultural with extensive experience in starting-up and operating Maquiladora plants.
