As Governor of Baja California Francisco Vega said,  “We are glad to see that it is possible to join the rising sun of Japan with the radiant sun of Mexicali.” Furukawa, a Japanese worldwide prime provider of automotive systems, has been operating a manufacturing facility at PIMSA Mexicali since 1998!

With over 2,000 associates, Furukawa’s constant expansion in Mexicali is testimony of why Mexicali continues to be an important geographical location for world manufacturers. At PIMSA we appreciate the trust of Furukawa and many other companies that have become a success story in our 52 years of servicing international corporations doing business in Mexico.
