| Maquila |
Short form of the Spanish word maquiladora. Originally
associated with the process of milling, in Mexico it has become
the word for another kind of processing -- the assembly of
imported component parts for re-export. Companies like working
in maquilas because of low wages, lack of environmental or
labour regulations, low taxes, and few if any duties.
