Mexico. The German company Witzenmann, dedicated to the manufacture of flexible couplings for the automotive industry, inaugurated the expansion of its plant in Apaseo el Grande, Guanajuato, where they have been installed since 2015.
"It is an honor to share with all of you the inauguration of this expansion of a world-class company and in Guanajuato we are proud to have you here in our territory," said the governor, Diego Sinhue Rodríguez Vallejo.
With an investment of 14 million dollars, this expansion includes the construction of a new warehouse, service areas and offices, which will allow the company to manufacture new generation high-tech products, increasing its production capacity by 100%.
The new building, measuring 3,500 square metres, will generate 352 new jobs over the next five years. These will be added to the more than 1,200 additional indirect jobs that are expected to be generated.
Witzenmann has been operating in Guanajuato since 2015 and with this expansion has invested more than 40 million dollars in Guanajuato in eight years.
This expansion also includes the installation of 1,000 solar cells to reduce the environmental footprint through the use of clean and renewable energy.
Witzenmann's customers include Audi, Mercedes Benz, General Motors, Tenneco, Volkswagen and Rivian (a U.S. manufacturer of electric cars).
