German company Brose, which produces components and systems for doors, seats and vehicle bodies, will build its fifth production plant in Mexico. The company exports 80 percent of its production, according to a local press report.
“We will invest in a new plant, we currently have three, this would be a fourth plant (in Querétaro). (...) We are going to produce all the window movement systems,” said the general director of Brose México, Manuel Guevara Salinas, according to the newspaper El Economista.
Brose arrived in Mexico 25 years ago and currently has four plants (3 in the state of Querétaro and one in the also central state of Puebla). It employs more than 2,900 workers.
According to Guevara Salinas, so far neither the location nor the investment amount for the fifth floor has been defined. It will be in a couple of months when the location will be reported.
The new plant will generate at least 600 new jobs. Additionally, in May, the company began an expansion process in one of its plants in Querétaro with the investment of around $22 million, which contemplated hiring 110 more people.
