About Us

Platinadora Baja was founded in 1996 and is located in Tijuana, Mexico less than 10 miles from the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa border crossings. We started out in a 16,000 sq. ft. building providing the Maquiladora Industry with 8 different plating finishes. Since then, we have expanded our facilities to 6 industrial buildings with a total combined production area of approximately 200,000 square feet.

We currently offer our more than 100 customers on both sides of the border a vast array of in house finishes and services that include over 20 electroplating finishes as well as powder coating, liquid paint and Zinc Die Casting. Our work force has grown from 30 employees in 1996 to over 800.

This incredible growth has been possible only because all of our customers view us more as a strategic partner than a vendor. We have earned our customers’ trust and friendship by consistently providing them with a quality service on a timely manner at a competitive price.

We are 100% committed in complying with all the local and federal environmental regulations. To be able to do this, we have done considerable investments in our waste treatment system, which includes top of the line monitoring equipment and air scrubbers which help us keep the environment clean. Currently we offer a great variety of RoHS compliant finishes like Zinc, trivalent chromate conversion and passivates, lead free tin, etc.
We would like to extend you an invitation to visit our facilities and discover why Platinadora Baja is the region’s #1 metal finisher and Die Caster.
