In addition, AGP set up in Santa Catarina to export high quality glass for Tesla, the German ZG Group, which manufactures high-tech systems and cameras in Guadalupe, and Vertiv, which generates data storage technology, are also located in Santa Catarina.

Tesla has more than 100 suppliers throughout Mexico, including not only the state but also other cities such as Saltillo and Juarez, the Bajio and the State of Mexico.
