In Brownsville, advanced manufacturing is more than a target industry. It is a competitive advantage. With high-capacity infrastructure, a bilingual and technically skilled workforce, and global access via port, rail, air, and highway, Brownsville gives manufacturers the edge to scale production, control costs, and move product efficiently.
This is a place where manufacturing does not just happen. It accelerates.
Brownsville’s multimodal logistics network includes a deepwater port with Foreign Trade Zone status, Class I rail, direct interstate access, and a regional airport with cargo capabilities. Power, water, and broadband capacity are in place to support high-volume operations from day one.
Brownsville’s labor force includes more than 183,000 workers across the metro area, with a strong base in fabrication, machining, assembly, and logistics. Training partners like Texas Southmost College and UTRGV provide certifications and degree programs that keep talent pipelines aligned with employer needs.
With more than 40,000 acres of development-ready land at the Port of Brownsville alone, and shovel-ready parks throughout the region, manufacturers have room to expand, diversify operations, or build greenfield projects with confidence.
Brownsville offers competitive labor, energy, and real estate costs, plus incentive programs tailored to manufacturers investing in long-term growth. Lower input costs mean higher margins, which lead to faster reinvestment in people and technology.
