Monterrey, Mexico.- The current automotive boom in Mexico is causing the expansion of auto parts suppliers installed in Nuevo Leon and the arrival of new companies from the sector, which has tripled the investment forecasted to be made by the sector at the State. Projects have been so strongly accelerated that in the first six months of 2012 investments for US$793 million were committed, 222% more than in January-June 2011, Rolando Zubiran Robert, Deputy Minister of Economic Development for the State, pointed-out.
Companies such as Johnson Controls, which produces batteries in Garcia; Yazaki, which will make harnesses in Anahuac; Takata, which will expand their steering wheels line; and Accuride, which will do so with the manufacture of aluminum rims are some of the companies putting good money in Nuevo Leon.
Zubiran said that other companies also stand out, among them ConMet, Metal Systems, Mercedes Daimler, Alcoa, NGK Insulators, Hitachi Chemical and Denso. With the new projects, he added, the group of companies associated to the automotive sector in Nuevo Leon will generate 2,765 new jobs.
