TORONTO -- Saying Mexico offers a superior alternative to China, contract electronics manufacturer Adeptron Technologies has partnered with an EMS provider there.

Adeptron declined to name the Mexican company, but said it has offices in Hong Kong and Japan, and assembles and integrates products such as TVs, marine GPS devices, mobile and Bluetooth devices and climate control devices. The facility is ISO 9000:2000 and ISO 14000 registered and is ISO 16949 compliant. The site has a 42,000 sq. ft. facility that houses eight high speed SMT lines and five hand mount lines.

Adeptron CEO F. Michael Marti said, "Many North American companies recognize that in light of changes in the manufacturing sector in Asia, particularly in China, Mexico often represents a superior alternative when measured on a total cost of delivered product basis. Mexico is part of the North American Free Trade Agreement, enjoys fast and inexpensive trucking of goods to delivery sites and has a well educated workforce at a cost that competes well with other low-cost geographies. We are very pleased to be able to provide another seamless full-solutions location in Mexico and in close proximity to the border with the US."
