Profile:	Otay Mesa, a community within the City of San Diego, located east of I-805 and South of Chula Vista, was developed as an industrial area in 1985 because of the creation of the Otay Mesa Port of Entry. After seventeen years, Otay Mesa has become California's largest commercial land border port and one of the busiest commercial land border crossings in the United States. Otay Mesa is home to the first Dedicated Commuter Lane, an airport, large parcels of value priced industrial land and numerous economic development incentives programs such as the State Enterprise Zone and the Foreign Trade Zone, both designed to induce companies to locate in the region. More recently, development has begun in East Otay Mesa, located in the unincorporated area of the County of San Diego. Plans are already underway in East Otay Mesa to establish a high technology business park. With three major freeways, a higher education center and over 11,000 homes under development, Otay Mesa houses more than 1,200 companies with more than 17,000 employees. San Diego is known for its unqualified quality of life, excellent public education, health services, high tech industry and high quality communications. Mexico is known for its world-class manufacturing and inexpensive and skilled labor force. Together Otay Mesa and the Baja California region combine to become a powerhouse for manufacturers. This is one of the reasons why major corporations, such as SANYO, SONY, Honeywell and Panasonic, have made significant investments in the San Diego/ Baja California Region. TWIN PLANTS In Otay Mesa you will also find major manufacturing facilities operating under the twin plant system, where firms segment their manufacturing processes on both sides of the border. Many of these twin-plants carry out their capital-intensive process in Otay and their labor-intensive process in Tijuana. Such companies include Honeywell, Howard Leight and Casio,among others. Other twin plant companies develop their marketing and research centers in Otay and their manufacturing processes in Tijuana. Such companies include Matsushita/Panasonic, Sanyo, among others. MANUFACTURERS Another generation of manufacturing plants -non twin plants- have recently established technology facilities in Otay Mesa. Some examples include defense component manufacturer Axsys Technologies; golf part manufacturer, Graphite Design; and medical manufacturer, Cosmed, among others. While many companies do locate in Otay Mesa because they sell and ship directly to Mexico, there are more and more companies who Locate in Otay Mesa simply to take advantage of the skilled labor force of legal workers commuting from Tijuana every day, by car, bus, bike or even by foot.
