Anthony’s positioning along I-10, rapid access to three area airports, central location for labor, and proximity to the region’s four International Ports of Entry make Anthony the ideal location for industry seeking to expand to a border area. The region has grown to be an international market place because of the presence of the maquiladora industry in Mexico. The maquiladora program, initiated in the mid 1960’s has attracted substantial industrial growth to the northern border of Mexico. This program allows tax and cost advantages to labor-intense companies adding value to components for final or sub-assembled product. The implementation of NAFTA caused a boom in the industrial growth in the border areas and as a result, the maquiladora industry in the Juarez/Chihuahua area has become the second largest concentration of maquiladoras in Mexico. There are several Fortune 500 companies located in this region and some notable names include Motorola, Delphi, Johnson and Johnson and many more. Easy Access to All Area International Ports of Entry Anthony is north of all four regional International Ports of Entry and positioned just right to take advantage of all four ports. The three El Paso Ports of Entry are bridges, Bridge of the Americas, Paso del Norte and the Zaragoza Bridge and located in Santa Teresa, New Mexico is the fastest International Port of Entry in the region for traffic flow. Santa Teresa is also the only land crossing in the region. The Samalayuca by-pass allows Chihuahua-bound traffic using the Santa Teresa Port of Entry to by-pass the Juarez/El Paso traffic. Whether your shipments are going into Juarez or Chihuahua, an Anthony location facilitates easy access to your Port of Entry of choice.
