Metal Stamping on the U.S.-Mexico Border (Juarez/El Paso)

Manufacturing activity along the southern border between Mexico and the United States has increased tremendously over the past few decades due to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the new USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement). Keats Manufacturing Inc. is proud to be a part of the booming economy in this region. In 1994, the company opened a location in El Paso and now operates a 30,000-square-foot custom facility fitted with advanced machinery and skilled workers. 

Keats is home to one of the largest metal stamping operations in Texas, producing custom-designed parts for a wide range of applications. Our components can be found in manufactured products by leading companies.

Economic Growth Along the U.S.-Mexico Border 

Mexico and the United States share various social, cultural, and economic interactions across a border that stretches nearly 2,000 miles. The southern border is the geographical center of trade between the two countries which has accelerated over the past few decades.

Companies like Keats are hopeful that bringing manufacturing to the area will uplift local communities and streamline domestic supply chains. In the borderland region, logistics and customs are a large part of the local economy, which processes thousands of trucks that move between El Paso and Juarez every day.
