Siemens inaugurates Kaizen in Queretaro

QUERETARO - Siemens Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, inaugurated the operations of Kaizen, a project to expand its production and presence in the State of Queretaro aimed at meeting the growing technological demand for solutions focused on the medium and low voltage energy market in Mexico and North America.

In November 2023, Siemens announced the investment of US$53.2 million distributed over five years in Kaizen to optimize and redesign its production in the locality, in order to double its production capacity, which in turn will result in significant reductions in delivery times.

In addition, the company is strengthening the decarbonization strategy it employs in its processes and thereby reducing its carbon footprint, generating innovative tools to reduce the industry's impact.

Judith Wiese, Director of Personnel and Sustainability, as well as a member of the Board of Directors of Siemens AG, explained that Kaizen is a testament to the company's commitment to innovation, excellence and sustainability in various industries in the country.

“Mexico offers a strong manufacturing base, a strategic geographic location and a favorable business environment, making it an ideal location for major investments," said Judith Wiese.

Alejandro Preinfalk, CEO and president of Siemens for Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, commented that the inauguration of Kaizen is not only about expanding the company's operations, but also about forging a better future for all.

Marco Cosío, VP of Smart Infrastructure at Siemens Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, indicated that the company is well aware of the challenges involved in the transformation of the industry and therefore promotes energy efficiency, the optimization of value chains and improving the transparency of environmental metrics.
