Founded in 1983 as one of the first shelter companies operating in the Baja California region of Mexico, Tacna Services is comprised of three distinct divisions: shelter services, technology business process outsourcing, and two manufacturing divisions in Mexico. The company, which employs 270 professionals and has headquarters in San Diego (California) and Tijuana (Mexico), leases 6 million square feet, supporting 65 client operations and processing 5,000 imports/exports monthly. Tacna offers comprehensive, end-to-end services that enable foreign manufacturing companies to focus on their core production, managing all aspects for them—from securing permits and licenses to selecting facilities, handling recruitment, ensuring precise accounting, and overseeing the export of finished products in compliance with international trade agreements. Its revenue was $22.5M in 2024.
