At Prodensa, we have guided numerous companies through pivotal moments in their operations. Whether facing challenges in relocation, exit strategies, or due diligence, our shelter services team has successfully helped companies assess their options and implement the right solutions. In this post, we highlight three common scenarios: Relocation Strategy, Exit Strategy, and Due Diligence—each illustrating how strategic decision-making and expert support can lead to sustainable success.
Relocation Strategy – Expanding with Confidence
A leading automotive electronics manufacturer needed to expand its operations in Mexico due to growing demand and new contracts. However, its existing facility, operated under a Multitenant shelter structure, was at full capacity, leaving no room for growth. Complicating matters, the shelter operator also owned the industrial park, offering no viable expansion options.
Solution: After conducting a City Evaluation Process to compare locations and incentives, the company selected a new site under a Dedicated Shelter Structure—one that would allow them to take ownership once they were fully operational. Prodensa provided:
-
Comprehensive Relocation Strategy
-
Project Management for a smooth transition
-
New Dedicated Shelter Set-Up
-
Administrative Support to ensure compliance and efficiency
This strategic move positioned the company for long-term success, providing flexibility, operational control, and room for future expansion.
Exit Strategy – Gaining Financial Transparency
A packaging materials manufacturer set up operations in Mexico under a Multitenant shelter to accelerate market entry. However, within a year, their corporate leadership realized they needed greater financial visibility and control over their Mexican operation—something the Multitenant model, with its shared accounts and tax structures, could not provide.
Solution: To align with their new corporate strategy, the company transitioned from a Multitenant shelter to a Wholly Owned Maquila structure. Prodensa facilitated:
-
A strategic evaluation of exit options
-
Development of a safe and structured exit plan
-
Project Management for a seamless transition
-
Legal and administrative support for the incorporation of the new Wholly Owned Maquila
With this shift, the company gained full financial control, improved transparency, and optimized operational efficiency in Mexico.
Due Diligence – Smart Decision-Making for Business Continuity
A French electronic components manufacturer approached Prodensa as its shelter service contract neared expiration. To align with its corporate objectives, the company needed a clear, data-driven analysis of its options before making a critical decision about its future in Mexico.
Solution: Prodensa conducted an in-depth assessment and cost analysis, evaluating multiple scenarios and their long-term business implications. Our detailed report enabled the company’s executives to make an informed strategic decision that maximized their resources while ensuring smooth business continuity.
