Four
northeast
Mexico states combine to form an industrial powerhouse. In
Coahuila, Nuevo León, San Luis Potosí and Tamaulipas, investors
will find virtually everything needed for success.
The region includes manufacturing activities ranging
from auto assembly in
Saltillo, Coah., to high-tech operations in
Monterrey,
N.L. and major petrochemical industries in Tamaulipas. However,
all major types of industry have found success here. For
example, Sony’s Nuevo Laredo, Tamps. plant is considered one of
its most productive. Coahuila’s La Laguna area is the top denim
manufacturing region in
Latin America.
Visteon’s Monterrey, N.L. plant recently received the
Occupational Health and Safety State Award for 2003. The award
is granted to companies in Nuevo León that meet and exceed high
standards of safety. Visteon’s Aeropuerto plant specializes in
the manufacturing of automotive safety controls, electronic
products, and climate system products.
“There is a lot of opportunity here,” says Larry Shaw,
plant manager at Modine Transferencia de Color, S.A. de C.V. in
Nuevo Laredo,
Tamps.
Coahuila
Coahuila has an excellent highway system that connects
the country’s major cities with the
United States. The northern part of the state has a
long-standing mining tradition. Fluorite, lead and tin mining
are important, and foundries have been developed. The presence
of Altos Hornos de México in
Monclova,
one of the traditional leaders of the country’s iron and steel
industry, has spurred the development of related activities in
several towns. With the arrival of major automobile plants in
the state capital and assembly plants in several cities,
industry has diversified considerably. DaimlerChrysler, General
Motors, Anderson Clayton, AT&T, Levy’s and other companies have
acted as a magnet in attracting first-class enterprises with
foreign investment to Coahuila.
Within Coahuila is La Laguna , an agro-industrial area
rich in natural and man-made resources. The La Laguna region is
368 miles and 510 miles from the border cities of
Laredo and El Paso, Texas, and the vast markets of the
Pacific Rim are only hours away from La
Laguna’s international airport. La Laguna’s ideal location and
resources facilitates the development of key industries,
including automotive, textiles, mining, agriculture, dairy,
poultry, beef and many types of manufacturing.
In the automotive sector, La Laguna boasts some of the most
productive plants in the world including John Deere and
Caterpillar’s engine plants as well as Delphi...
