The high-tech center Parque Tecnológico Innovación in Santiago de Querétaro, about 200 kilometers north of Mexico City, is now home of another innovation driver: SCHUNK opened its new location there in August and continues to strengthen its global presence. The building, with an area of around 5,000 square meters, houses assembly and manufacturing capacities for the most important components and applications to offer regional and local customers specific solutions with particularly short delivery times. In addition, the engineering capacities will be expanded at the new location and the CoLab application center for automation and depaneling technology will be put into operation.
Mexico is a major investment destination for several key industries, especially in the automotive and electronics industries. International companies are expanding their activities here or planning to do so. SCHUNK is prepared to support you with appropriate, efficiency-enhancing production technology as well as engineering know-how and advice. Marcos Sepúlveda, General Manager SCHUNK Mexico, says: “We are now able to serve the needs of customers across the Americas with a particularly responsive approach. In the future, we expect a higher demand for customized orders, which we will now meet with a strengthened on-site set-up.
The location in Santiago de Querétaro begins operation with around 80 employees. To meet the anticipated strong demand and serve the local market with engineering, manufacturing and assembly expertise, rapid growth is planned for the coming years. Kristina I. Schunk, CEO of SCHUNK, emphasizes: “The strategic expansion in Mexico strengthens our global presence, as well as the future viability of our company. AS in other regional markets, we are focusing on building a network of partners hand-in-hand in Mexico to optimally serve our customers.”
