Contract manufacturing means outsourcing production—you give up control over operations, quality, and intellectual property. With Tetakawi’s shelter model, you operate your own factory. We handle the complexity—HR, compliance, import/export, and infrastructure—so your team stays focused on production and results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about shelter manufacturing in Mexico.
How is a shelter model different from contract manufacturing?
Can Tetakawi provide shelter services anywhere in Mexico?
No—and for good reason. We only offer shelter services where we’ve built the infrastructure and teams to ensure speed, reliability, and scalability. By investing in fully integrated Manufacturing Campuses in Mexico’s most strategic regions, we eliminate the friction of traditional models and deliver long-term operational success.
How does Tetakawi charge for shelter services?
We charge a variable fee based on headcount and hours worked. The rate scales down as you grow, which aligns our incentives with yours. The goal isn’t to add cost—it’s to reduce your total administrative burden while accelerating time to value.
How does shelter compare to going standalone?
Standalone operations mean establishing a legal entity, navigating regulations, and managing compliance, payroll, and customs on your own. That takes longer and costs more. Tetakawi’s shelter model gets you operating up to 60% faster, with 30% less administrative overhead, and no loss of operational control.
