Tech global leader Siemens inaugurated “ITESA 4,” a new manufacturing plant in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. The new plant involved a US$17.4 million investment and aims to address the growing demand seen in the North American market, especially in the housing sector.
The new manufacturing plant will manufacture products to measure and distribute energy. “In Siemens, we are committed to continuous innovation… we will keep collaborating as a strategic partner in Mexico and continue boosting its position as a leader in digital, safety, and sustainability electrification,” says Alejandro Preinfalk, President and CEO, Siemens Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
The plant will be built during four stages and construction is expected to be finished by the end of 2025. Siemens will install four assembly lines and transfer another six. The plant will have capabilities for CNC stamping, metal bending, welding, and painting, among others, for metallic components and aluminum bars.
The expansion is expected to boost the company’s exports by 16%, allowing it to meet the demand in its main market, says Rolando Calderón, Head of Manufacturing, Electrical Products, Siemens Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
Maria Granados, Ministry of Innovation and Economic Development of Chihuahua, highlighted that Siemens’ expansion will generate employment, as it has already created over 260 direct jobs.
The project focuses on productivity and operational efficiency, reinforcing the company’s position as a strategic hub for manufacturing and distribution in the electrification market. “We are committed to reimagining our scope while reinventing our processes to lead the electrification of homes, industries, and societies,” says Marco Cosío, Vice President of Smart Infrastructure, Siemens Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.
