WEG to Build New Plant in Hidalgo
Brazilian company WEG, which specializes in manufacturing electric motors, transformers, generators, and industrial automation solutions, has announced an investment of approximately US$250 million to build a new plant in Hidalgo, as part of its strategy to strengthen its manufacturing capabilities in Mexico.
President Claudia Sheinbaum made the announcement during a morning press conference attended by Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard and company executives.
Ebrard highlighted WEG's importance to Mexico's industrial development, particularly in meeting the growing demand for electrical infrastructure associated with advanced manufacturing, data centers, and emerging technologies.
The new investment adds to WEG's more than 25-year presence in Mexico, which includes operations involving motors, automation, power generation and distribution, electrical infrastructure, and industrial coatings.
The new plant builds on WEG's series of investments in Hidalgo, particularly in the municipality of Atotonilco de Tula, where the company has expanded its manufacturing capacity to meet demand for electrical equipment across North America.
