The word Maquiladoras comes from colonial Mexico, where millers charged a "maquila" for processing other people's grain. Today the same term is used to describe companies that process (assemble and/or transform in some way) components imported into Mexico which are, in turn, exported - usually to the United States. Terms that are synonymous with Maquiladoras include: offshore operations, production sharing, twin plants and in-bond.
