A Maquiladora is a large, foreign owned (typically US) company that establishes a production plant just inside the Mexican border.  In Nogales, Mexico, we toured the Curtis Industries, Inc. production plant, with headquarters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Curtis Industries makes terminal block connectors, radio frequency filters, and cables.  Rosaria Roldan, a Curtis materials manager, gave led us through the facility.  The average worker in this plant of 105 employees makes $10 a day, a good wage for Mexican workers in Nogales.
