Consolidating as a leading company in generating employment and specialized training for several generations of engineers, manager and operators.
 
Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico.
 
Located in PIMSA Industrial Developers, Mexico’s oldest product sharing manufacturing company Rockwell Collins EEMSA, with more than 50 years in Mexicali,  celebrated the hiring of its 1,000th collaborator, consolidating as a leading company in generating employment and specialized training for several generations of engineers, manager and operators. Due to the boom in the aerospace sector, Baja California is growing in aeronautical manufacturing. Therefore, Rockwell Collins’ Corporate, represented in Mexicali by EEMSA, has announced an important expansion in its operations.

 
Rockwell Collins Mexicali will experience a significant growth in the upcoming months, as explained by Chuck Stroo, Plant Manager. “Reaching 1,000 employees means a great achievement for us; it  is synonymous of hard work and continuous growth. Certainly, our goal will be to redouble efforts to multiply that number and consolidate EEMSA as a company that represents not only a better job offer, but also a better quality of life.”
 
On the other hand, Ernesto Duarte, Human Resources Manager, explained that the company is interested and working on the development of its associates. “Rockwell Collins is a company with great tradition in Mexicali. This operations expansion will allow us to offer more and better jobs for Mexicali’s people. Our company is known for providing opportunities to develop the potential of our collaborators,” said Duarte.

 
To celebrate this accomplishment, a ceremony took place to welcome associate number 1000, Liliana Perea, who received a recognition from the company with pride and emotion.
 
Although the company has exceeded on several occasions the headcount of 1,000 associates, it was important to highlight this great achievement that consolidates growth and strengthens Baja California State as a leader in the Aerospace Sector.

 
Rockwell Collins finished its event recalling it started operations in Mexicali in 1966 with only 16 associates, working on several electronic assembly processes later evolving into the aerospace field.
At PIMSA Industrial Developers we appreciate Rockwell Collins’ trust through all these years being part of the PIMSA family of companies. Congratulations!

Mexicali, Baja California
To server Alma Ponce and Captain Angel Vazquez (in picture) of Fonda de Mexicali Restaurant at Araiza Hotel, a smile and positive first impression followed by a vigilant, attentive and efficient service, is the key for a hotel guest to come again.
“The hotel business in Mexicali has been a positive contribution to our local manufacturing companies. On a daily basis, we host many international executives visiting Mexicali from companies such as National Oil Varco, Constellation Brands, Gulfstream, Rockwell Collins, UTC, Sun Power, Kenworth, Nippon Sheet Glass, and Furukawa among others, as well as those considering to establish plants in Mexicali; therefore, our contribution is to provide good service with a positive attitude,” said Captain Vazquez.
PIMSA would like to recognize and thank those men and women hosting our international business visitors in Mexicali. “This is an important complement to generate a pleasant and friendly face to potential industrial investors in Mexicali,” said Cesar Ponce, who represents 38 international companies in PIMSA.
Hotel service in Mexicali is prime. Araiza, Lucerna, Calafia, Holiday Inn, Real Inn, among others are in high gear. Several new hotels are now under construction adding to this important Mexicali hosting service with quality brands such as Four Points by Sheraton of the Wong Family.
“A warm welcome for our visitors is important to us! Attitude is the secret!”- Xavier Rivas, VP of Busniess Development, PIMSA.

We are glad to share the efforts of ITR (Technological Institute of Rehabilitation), a nonprofit organization currently designing and developing medical devices, from conventional prosthetics to bionic limbs for kids and adults who need prosthetic hands and/or legs.

On this occasion Bosch Power Tools Mexicali, through its Robert Bosch Mexico Foundation and in coordination with ITR, made it possible for Iker, a 4-year old child with a congenital malformation in his left arm, to receive a hand prosthesis.

At Bosch facilities in PIMSA, Iker received the prosthesis from Bosch Mexicali Plant Director, Arturo Contreras, and the Director of the Robert Bosch Foundation, Rogelio Santos, in the presence of Manuel Castañeda, President of ITR, and Iker’s mother.

Furthermore, Bosch supported ITR during its Christmas event “Believing in Smiles” by donating 400 blankets to people in low-income neighborhoods.
Bosch will continue to support ITR with machines and tools so they can expand their social program.
We are pleased to congratulate Bosch and ITR for being role models in improving the living conditions of Mexicali’s society.
If interested in supporting ITR social program, please contact Ruben Castañeda rcastaneda@itrmexico.com.

Today, Commissioner John Renison from Imperial County, California, paid a visit to PIMSA offices.

In picture, PIMSA’s Francisco Fiorentini presenting a PIMSA desert hat to Commissioner Renison; meeting included Cesar Ponce of our Think Tank Industrial intelligence Group and Xavier Rivas, the objective is to introduce the PIMSA worker discount card “Para Darte Más” and to coordinate economic networking with PIMSA associates.
Imperial County with a population of 180,000, is an important US farming region, including the cities of Brawley, Calexico, Calipatria, El Centro, Holtville, Imperial and Westmorland, becoming a production sharing area to complement Mexicali’s manufacturers.

 
“We are bound to a Twin Industrial Region, Mexicali and Imperial Valley, are only separated by an international boundary. Commissioner Renison’s visit is a testimony of interest and importance to our future”– Xavier Rivas of PIMSA.

Mexico’s Federal Government has created these training centers to provide an opportunity for those unable to attend universities. Accessible and short technical programs are ready and benefit many young and potential workers with required training.
These schools are an important manufacturer’s complement in training Mexicali workers in several disciplines, including Certified TIG, MIG and Conventional Welding, CNC, Electronics, Sewing, English as second language, or any specific trade as needed by interested companies.

There are three campuses in Mexicali, one near PIMSA 1, one in Mexicali´s Civic Center, and another in Km 43 Guadalupe Victoria in Mexicali Valley.

Rockwell, Emerson, Chromalloy, GKN Aerospace, Kenworth, CCN Precision, National Oil Varco, Nassco Timsa, are among Mexicali manufacturers using CECATI trade programs.

 

 
Prospective interested manufacturers are invited to visit and explore CECATI options.
Manufacturers already operating in Mexico considering training are welcome to see how it could be done at CECATI.

From humble beginnings to a dream with momentum!
 
Fifty five years ago, Don Ignacio Guajardo, a University of Stanford graduate himself, set his mind on a vision by leading a group of Mexicali businessmen into a series of actions to build a Non-Profit Organization with the objective of creating a private university of the highest quality.

Today CETYS University, with campuses in Tijuana, Ensenada and Mexicali, has a student population of 7,225 with a curricula including Engineering, Business Administration, Psychology, Graphic Design, Law and Education Sciences.
Eugenio Lagarde, now retired, was CETYS’s first enrolled student 55 years ago. As many others today, he managed a USA manufacturing corporation in Mexicali. Honored to have been the first enrolled, “Never imagined that our university would become such an important educational complement to our region and international community” – Lagarde said.

Next September 18, 19 and 20, CETYS University will be celebrating its 55th Anniversary with several events, including an International Seminar on Innovation in Higher Education.
International corporations can be certain that CETYS University is an important source of bilingual management talent. Many of our manufacturers have relied on this educational center since 1961, up to date.

“Every year that we hold our Alumni Reunion of CETYS graduates, you can feel the ambience with a pride factor” – Oscar Peralta, coordinator of this annual event.
