Chihuahua Targets Pegatron Suppliers in Taiwan
Chihuahua is stepping up efforts to attract Taiwanese manufacturing investment, presenting its industrial infrastructure and business opportunities to 25 suppliers of electronics manufacturer Pegatron during a seminar held at the company's headquarters in Taipei.
Representatives from Chihuahua's Ministry of Innovation and Economic Development (SIDE) outlined the conditions available for companies seeking to establish or expand manufacturing operations in Mexico. The presentation covered industrial real estate options, the shelter model, and alternatives for companies planning to enter the Mexican market or scale up existing facilities.
The shelter model allows foreign manufacturers to operate in Mexico with support from an established local entity that can handle administrative and operational requirements, potentially simplifying market entry.
Officials also introduced the San Jerónimo Economic Development Hub for Well-Being, a development initiative intended to support industrial activity, and discussed the outlook for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) as companies evaluate their regional manufacturing strategies.
Ulises Fernández Gamboa, head of SIDE, emphasized the importance of engaging directly with Taiwanese businesses to communicate Chihuahua's industrial capabilities and the conditions available for developing new projects.
Strengthening Chihuahua's Position in Global Supply Chains
The meeting forms part of the state's Invest in Chihuahua promotion strategy, which seeks to build stronger relationships with international companies and attract new industrial investment.
Taiwanese manufacturers and their suppliers represent a potential source of new projects as companies assess their production footprints and supply chain requirements across North America. Chihuahua's industrial infrastructure and proximity to the United States make the state a candidate for companies looking to establish or expand manufacturing operations in Mexico.
By presenting its industrial property options, operational models, and investment conditions directly to Pegatron's supplier network, Chihuahua aims to identify opportunities for new facilities and expanded manufacturing capacity.
The discussions also highlighted the importance of the USMCA framework in regional business planning, particularly as companies consider the trade environment and long-term conditions for operating in North America.
While the meeting did not announce specific investment commitments, it provided an opportunity for Chihuahua to showcase its capabilities to companies evaluating their manufacturing options in Mexico.
The outreach in Taipei underscores the state's broader effort to attract international capital, deepen industrial partnerships, and create opportunities for local suppliers to participate in global manufacturing networks.
