The Fender Mexico factory is located in Ensenada in Baja California. The factory is pretty well known by the local residences.

On our arrival, Sergio Villanueva, the vice president of Mexico operations, and Ruben Aguilar Flores, the production manager, greeted us (Ruben on left, Sergio on right).

A Factory Overview
The factory has been in existence for 16 years, and employs 850 workers.  The employees are treated very well, and are covered by workers compensation insurance.

 Also, if needed, Fender offers the employee’s zero interest loans.

The factory is broken into four major areas, acoustic guitars, electric guitars and basses, amplifiers and strings.
