Swiss multinational Nestl\u00e9 has confirmed that it will invest US $160 million in its pet food plant in Le\u00f3n, Guanajuato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public confirmation came after Guanajuato Governor Diego Sinhue Rodr\u00edguez Vallejo met with Nestl\u00e9 executives in Geneva, Switzerland, on Monday. The company first announced its intention to invest in the plant in October 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investment will allow Nestl\u00e9 to increase its annual production of dry food by 33% to 285,000 tonnes. Wet food production will increase 108% to 25,000 tonnes annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guanajuato government said in a statement that the $160 million injection will generate more than 200 direct jobs and over 1,700 indirect ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026 This investment makes provision for the integration of high-technology equipment, control systems, automatization, tools focused on the digitalization of data and systems that will increase [Nestl\u00e9\u2019s] production capacity,\u201d the government said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026 the expansion will generate new work opportunities in the operation of new processing lines, meeting Nestl\u00e9\u2019s focus to boost the employability of Mexican talent in locations such as Silao, Irapuato, Romita, Le\u00f3n, Celaya, Cort\u00e1zar, Salamanca, San Luis de la Paz and [Guanajuato city].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plant is located in the Guanajuato Puerto Interior, a dry port facility about 25 kilometers southeast of downtown Le\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sinhue said that confirmation of Nestl\u00e9\u2019s investment is good news for Guanajuato, asserting that it was a sign of the reactivation of the state\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re working to continue generating better employment conditions for Guanajuato residents,\u201d the National Action Party governor said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sinhue said that Nestl\u00e9, which has been operating in Mexico since 1930, could invest additional resources in the state in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laurent Freixe, Nestl\u00e9\u2019s Americas chief, said the company has a long-term commitment to Mexico and its people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026 Investments like this \u2026 as well as future investments and the main initiatives of the company are a sign of the confidence we have in the potential of Mexico and its people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another European company that is betting that Guanajuato \u2013 an industrial hub (and Mexico\u2019s most violent state) \u2013  is a good place to manufacture its products is the Italian firm Proma, which makes components for the automotive sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sinhue announced on Twitter on Tuesday that he had visited the firm and that its executives committed to investing 130 million pesos (US $6.5 million) to build a plant in the state. \u201cThis project will generate more than 250 direct and indirect jobs in an initial development of 5,000 square meters in its first stage,\u201d Sinhue wrote, adding that the plant would be eventually be triple that size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Proma management team acknowledged that Guanajuato has the technology and innovation ecosystem for the operation of the company,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
