U.S.-Mexican twin plant concept boosts employment
The twin plant idea links U.S. and Mexican border towns to cut costs and create jobs. San Diego and nearby Tijuana lead the trend, with over 300 firms operating twin plants and an estimated 50,000 U.S. jobs tied to the concept. Cross-border assembly reduces freight time and keeps labor-intensive work near home.
