The auto parts company BorgWarner Inc., based in Auburn Hills, Michigan, with an investment equivalent to $45 million, inaugurated its eighth production plant in Mexico, a country that is the third most important by turnover, in the northern Mexican city of Saltillo, Coahuila.
"With an investment of MXN 858 million ($45 million) and 350 new jobs, we inaugurated the third plant of BorgWarner (in Coahuila), a leading auto parts manufacturing company," reported the state governor, Manolo Jiménez Salina, on his personal X account (formerly Twitter).
The company has production plants in El Salto, Jalisco; Irapuato, Guanajuato; in San Luis Potosi; in Reynosa, Tamaulipas and the three in Coahuila: Ramos Arizpe, Torreón and the new one in Saltillo. It also has a technology center in the border city of Juarez, Chihuahua.
In 2023, of the $14.20 billion in sales it recorded, Mexico occupied the third most important position with $2.33 billion, a figure that represented 12.4 percent of the total. That participation was only surpassed by the 16.4 percent that the United States contributed and by the 21.1 percent of China.
