Historically Ramirez Tamaulipas is very new to the maquila business, for this reason it does not suffer the typical labor conflicts that appear trouble other border cities. This, along with its close proximity to the US - Mexico border and an abundant qualified labor force, offers a unique advantage to companies wishing to establish manufacturing operations in Mexico.

The communities of Ramirez, Control, Lucio Blanco and Empalme Tamaulipas (contiguous to the Park) have for a long time provided laborers to the maquiladoras that are already established in the Matamoros, Reynosa and Valle Hermoso area.
