The Bajío region of Mexico has become a hotspot for manufacturing, particularly in the automotive and aerospace sectors. Here’s a glimpse into some of the well-known manufacturers that call this region home:

autopartes

​Automotive Powerhouses

The Bajio is a key player in the auto industry. Leading car manufacturers like General Motors, Honda, Toyota, and Volkswagen have major production facilities in cities like Querétaro, Guanajuato, and Aguascalientes. These giants are supported by a network of auto parts suppliers, further solidifying the region’s role in the automotive ecosystem.

Taking Flight in Aerospace

The Bajío is not just about cars. It’s also gaining recognition as a major aerospace hub. Companies like Bombardier, Safran, and Pratt & Whitney have established a presence in the region, attracted by the skilled workforce and the growing focus on innovation in this sector.

home-appliance

Beyond Transportation

While automotive and aerospace are prominent, the Bajio caters to other industries as well. Home appliance giants like Whirlpool and Mabe have manufacturing facilities here, leveraging the region’s strong infrastructure and central location.

With billions invested in new assembly plants, from automotive and aerospace manufacturers particularly, Tier Two and Tier Three suppliers are flocking to the region to be closer to clients and grow their business.

conference

This is the third edition of WAFE Mexico in which we've participated, and the results have been tremendously enriching. We've seen this event grow and attract more and more attendees. This time, we had the opportunity to sponsor the welding competition during the event and offer participants the use of our welding and protective equipment during the tests. Being close to our customers is a priority for us, but being close to Mexican talent, to the end user, those who operate and can see how Fronius can exponentially improve their processes and deliver high quality is invaluable to us.
Thank you to the WAFE team for allowing us to grow together.
