Company profile: TCL Moka Manufacturing S.A. de C.V.
Company overview. TCL Moka Manufacturing, S.A. de C.V. (commonly "TCL Moka," the TCL MOKA Tijuana plant) is a Mexican corporation based in Tijuana, Baja California (Calle Cuarta No. 55, Ciudad Industrial; court filings also list Camino Vecinal 2472, Cañon del Padre). The site began as a Sanyo television factory in the late 1980s; TCL acquired it in 2014 and expanded it into the group's North America manufacturing hub. Court pleadings describe it as a "principal subsidiary" of TCL Electronics Holdings (SEHK: 1070), with TCL Industries / TCL Technology Group Corporation (SZSE: 000100) as the ultimate corporate parent; reporting links the plant to Moka International (Maoka), the display manufacturer TCL Technology acquired in 2020. Recent interviews put headcount around 800-plus; some databases list roughly 2,000. No revenue is published — trade-data providers record on the order of US$380 million in annual export turnover.
Products / operations. The plant is an export-oriented maquiladora that assembles flat-panel televisions (roughly 32–115 inches), commercial displays, and monitors on about nine to sixteen module/SMT/assembly lines, with annual capacity around 2–3 million units. Orders come mainly from the U.S. (~40%), Mexico (~40%), and Central/South America. Besides TCL-branded production and ODM/contract work, it provides warehousing and logistics services and imports LCD modules and components largely from China and Taiwan.
Patent-litigation posture. This is an operating company (TV manufacturer) appearing only as a defendant: 1 tracked case, 0 as plaintiff. It was named in VideoLabs, Inc. v. TCL Technology Group Corporation et al. (filed Feb. 10, 2025, E.D. Tex., Marshall Division — a plaintiff-friendly venue), a patent suit brought alongside multiple TCL entities.
Notable case / context. Plaintiff VideoLabs is a San Francisco–based patent-licensing collective that Unified Patents classifies as an NPE; per its own materials, it aggregates and asserts video-related patents acquired from companies including Nokia, Alcatel-Lucent, Siemens, Swisscom, 3Com, and HP Enterprise. The February 2025 E.D. Texas filings — including a parallel VideoLabs case against TCL Optoelectronics Technology Huizhou — reflect a campaign against TV/display makers. No public details indicate TCL Moka's specific accused products in this suit.
