“We are confident in telling you that the best is yet to come for Kawasaki Motores de México. They are arriving at the best time, to one of the most powerful municipalities, the best place to do business and invest,” Samuel Garcia emphasized.

The Secretary of Economy, Iván Rivas Rodríguez, commented that they are very happy because investments continue to arrive in Nuevo León.

“This is one more investment, Kawasaki, for US$200 million. Not only did the investment arrive, but before opening, they started the expansion,” he said.

He added that the Japanese company realized that Nuevo Leon has the best human capital and that to date they have hired 1,000 people and in the medium term they expect to reach 2,500 new jobs.

“We are very happy with the Japanese because of the culture they bring and the way they treat their employees,” said Rivas Rodriguez.

He explained that Kawasaki's largest plant is in Nebraska, while the Salinas Victoria plant will be the second largest.
