TULA, HGO - WEG Mexico, a manufacturer of energy-efficient motors, announced the opening of its new plant located in the Quma Industrial Park in Atotonilco de Tula, Hidalgo.

This is an investment of US$6.8 million, which is part of the projects presented by Governor Julio Menchaca in June 2023.

According to information from the firm, the building will generate up to 1,500 direct and indirect jobs in the region. In addition, it will strengthen Hidalgo's presence as a strategic point for national and international industry.
