MFTZ - On the cutting edge
McAllen Foreign Trade Zone #12 (MFTZ #12) is on the cutting edge in today's global marketplace.
Strategically located in the center of the
north American continent, it is the ideal location for companies who are looking to expand their base of operations. The resulting success of companies operating in MFTZ #12 performing in-bond manufacturing, warehousing
and distribution has made it the number one in percentage of exports in the United States.
One of the reasons the MFTZ #12 has gained worldwide recognition is the labor demographics of North America. As the labor
market in major industrial centers continues to tighten, companies are competing for labor. It is imperative that they relocate to an area that has an available labor force at a reasonable cost.
McAllen has an
abundant labor supply that is bilingual, bicultural and who understand the needs of companies wanting to do business in Mexico and South America.
Another advantage to locating in MFTZ #12 is the simple logistics of
operating in an area that is the closest U.S./Mexico border crossing to the largest concentration of Mexico's population, reducing transportation time and cost.
MFTZ #12 includes the Sharyland Business Park, owned
and operated by Hunt Realty/Woodbine Development. This development is part of a larger development known as the McAllen Crossport which includes an international airport, the 783-acre MFTZ #12, two international
bridges, rail and freight outlets, industrial parks, countless land, building options and much more.
