- Date11 October 2007
e2v technologies, one of Europe’s leading designers, developers and manufacturers of specialised components and sub systems, has formally inaugurated their new state-of-the art facilities, located in Baja California, adjacent to San Diego, California and within the binational Tijuana-San Diego region.
The facility will be responsible for production of industrial sensors and radar components, specifically for the North American and Asia Pacific markets, and has been established through a partnership with one of Mexico’s leading maquiladora shelter operators, BC Manufacturing.
Keith Attwood, CEO of e2v visited the site with Ken Swan, e2v’s VP of U.S. Operations, based at e2v’s San Diego offices.
Keith Attwood commented: ‘These new high-tech facilities will enable us to assemble selected products to our exacting quality standards and to extend our operational base to be closer to our North American customers.”
e2v’s Mexican operations will be supported by San Diego-headquartered BC Manufacturing USA, through a maquiladora manufacturing services agreement at one of their Tijuana, Mexico, facilities. The facility will initially employ approximately 50 people.
Ken Swan, Vice President of U.S. Operations for e2v, stated, “BC Manufacturing’s maquiladora shelter is providing us with excellent management and production capabilities in Mexico, allowing us to use their experience while we maintain control of actual operations – it’s a ‘win-win’ situation.”
