Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about medical device manufacturing in Mexico.
How does the medical device manufacturing employee and labor market work in Mexico?
How is the Medical Device Manufacturing industry regulated in Mexico?
In Mexico, medical devices are regulated by the Federal Commission for the Protection Against Sanitary Risk, which has set import/export regulations since 2001. In the United States, which is Mexico's top export country for the industry, medical device manufacturing, packaging, labeling, and import is controlled by the FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration). The FDA works to ensure medical device safety. Production is tightly controlled for medical devices, and given the rigorous compliance needs, many companies opt to work with a shelter services provider like Tetakawi that is well-versed in this arena. Shelter services can help manufacturers comply with manufacturing, safety, trade, and legal requirements.
How does Tetakawi support medical device manufacturers?
We offer fully integrated shelter services that include regulatory compliance, workforce recruitment, HR, import/export, EH&S, and facility setup—so you can focus on precision manufacturing, not administration.
Where are the top regions for medical device manufacturing in Mexico?
Mexico’s leading medical device hubs include Tijuana, Juárez, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Querétaro. Tetakawi offers an edge by operating fully serviced campuses in regions like Mazatlán, where emerging labor markets support long-term scalability with less competition for talent.
