If I were you, I´d use the English definition and put "maquila" in parens. Not everybody knows what "maquila" means, which I think is not an English word.

maquiladora services


Explanation:
...'maquiladora services' has over 1.3million hits vs 'maquila servces' with 150,000. Although this term is not very familiar to the general public, almost anyone reading a financial statement of a Mexican company will know it.

You could add a footnate explanation, if you think it necessary.
