Overview
- The new facility represents an investment of more than $600 million and began operating with 240 robots and over 4,700 direct jobs, with company plans to scale automated capacity toward 1,000 units.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum inaugurated the center in Villa de Tezontepec, presenting it as evidence of a technological shift that makes Mexican engineers and specialized workers an investment draw.
- Federal and state officials said the project will link companies, universities and students to supply the specialized workforce needed for advanced logistics roles.
- The center is being folded into a Polo de Bienestar plan that includes housing, a Family Medicine Unit and schools so industrial growth is paired with local services for workers and families.
- Authorities expect the hub to strengthen domestic demand and wages by creating higher‑skill jobs, while Hidalgo’s training pipeline—about 7,000 engineers a year—and recent strong economic growth provide local support for the expansion.
