Aerospace logistics in Baja California


Posted on Share on:

When you mention successful cases in the field of logistics and aerospace, few places in the world can boast of the benefits rendered by the “Calibaja” link where both sides of the border operate plants that coordinately achieve that connection to the product end of this business segment, as a sign of success, we see cases like Zodiac, Eaton, Benchmark, Gulfstream and Honeywell, companies that have spent more than a decade successfully manufacturing in Baja California and new ones such as GKN, Cubic, GST and Meggitt, whose results have been good.

With an area of approximately 200 kilometers a total of 96 companies that daily provide input value, generate employment and livelihood for more than 33,000 families, that cluster plays a significant role in its dynamic and total added-value processes, amounts and actors.

The region “Cali-Baja” can be considered a mega-region because it has an inlet port, which connects weekly cargo routes to most countries in East and Latin America; an airport within minutes of the plants with direct connections to major Asian destinations and the Bay of San Francisco, the train in Mexicali and soon in Tecate-Tijuana , which will have a market outlet for the central and eastern United States; a world-class convention center in Rosario; not to mention the Tijuana-San Diego area whose connection are essential in the cluster logistics and aerospace. This makes the California region and its atypical number of only five municipalities a test site for the installation and in some cases expansion of companies in the aerospace industry for its extraordinary logistical talent.

An additional logistics value can be seen in the executives quality of life, thanks the geographical location of the region, these can travel  from Baja California to London or many other destinations in the East without an overnight stay, in most cases they don’t have to change planes, which  becomes invaluable for managers in their occasional visits, some of which are in California, you can add to this the weather and events held in the area, ranging from massive concerts, NFL games and the Mexican Football League

On top of the geographical advantages of the state of Baja California, there are also advantages on an educational level, since the state has dozens of public and private universities offering engineering and specializations in aerospace, giving assurance of quality and quantity of the human resource. Giving an example of such class is the Master of Logistics of the Universidad Iberoamericana, offered here on campus Baja, which is recognized as the leader in Latin America that topic.
