Industrias 4.0 anuncian más capitales para México

Ante el nearshoring, las empresas mantienen su confianza por el país

Driven by relocation or nearshoring, Industries 4.0 (smart factories and automation processes) continue to have confidence in Mexico and have announced investments in research and new plants amounting to as much as 7 billion pesos.

During a tour organized by the Italian German Exhibition Company Mexico through the states of Mexico, Hidalgo, and Querétaro, companies such as Grupo Endress+Hauser, FAM ELAM, and WEG demonstrated that even though a slowdown is expected for the remainder of the year and political uncertainty lingers due to the upcoming U.S. elections, “nothing will stop them,” and they are continuing with their investment and growth plans.

The companies see opportunities brought by the relocation of businesses, which is why they are also aligned with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria.

He acknowledged that “in the next 10 years, 80% of vehicles will be electric. And we’ll be there.”
