Mexico's northern territories have historically teemed with low, sparse populations and a harsh, arid climate.

These plants are known as maquiladoras, and many of them are foreign-owned by transnational companies such as Sony, Samsung, General Motors, Delphi or Hyundai. No longer for just assembly, many industries have developed economies of scale, where smaller components required to finish the end product are made or built by local providers.
