Company profile: Manufacturas Avanzadas S.A. de C.V.
Overview. Manufacturas Avanzadas S.A. de C.V. is a Mexican operating company headquartered in Chihuahua (Blvd. Independencia 2151, Parque Industrial Salvarcar), with shipping records tied to Ciudad Juárez. Its Mexican tax ID (RFC MAV970313LM9) suggests incorporation around March 1997. It is not publicly traded; corporate-structure data for TCL Electronics Holdings Limited (HKEX: 1070) lists Manufacturas Avanzadas as a 100%-owned subsidiary, and TCL Group's consolidated filings likewise show TCL holding full ownership (with an effective interest under 40% at the parent level). No public source discloses its employee count or revenue, so those figures cannot be verified.
Operations. Manufacturas Avanzadas is TCL's Mexico-based manufacturing arm serving the TCL group, whose Chihuahua plant produces televisions/consumer electronics for the North American market (TCL acquired Sanyo's Mexican TV factory in 2014 and has consolidated Mexico production to supply the U.S.). Trade data (Panjiva/ImportGenius) show hundreds of cross-border shipments and HS codes covering TV, video, and electrical/electronic equipment, consistent with TV and electronics manufacturing and assembly. Ex Parte's party database classifies the entity as an operating company.
Patent-litigation posture. In the tracked district-court data, Manufacturas Avanzadas appears only as a defendant (1 case, 0 as plaintiff) — a manufacturing subsidiary swept into a suit targeting the TCL group, not an active litigant. The sole tracked case is VideoLabs, Inc. v. TCL Technology Group Corporation et al. (2:25-cv-00161), filed February 10, 2025 in the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division (Judge Gilstrap) — a patent-infringement action in which Manufacturas Avanzadas was named alongside roughly a dozen TCL entities and collectively treated as "TCL."
Notable context. The plaintiff, VideoLabs, is characterized by Unified Patents as a patent assertion entity (NPE); its complaint accused TCL H.264-capable smart TVs, projectors, phones, and tablets of infringing video-coding and portable-device patents. The case was dismissed with prejudice by joint stipulation in November 2025 following settlement. Outside district court, Manufacturas Avanzadas has also been named a respondent in USITC Section 337 investigations involving smart televisions and graphics systems/digital TVs, reflecting its role as TCL's U.S.-market TV supply-chain entity.
