Coahuila: Mexico’s New Hotspot for Advanced Manufacturing

Coahuila is emerging as Mexico’s new hotspot for advanced manufacturing, driven by strong infrastructure, talent, and a strategy focused on innovation.

Pro Coahuila is leading the state’s transformation into a premier destination for national and foreign investment, backed by world-class infrastructure, a highly skilled workforce, and a focused strategy centered on key sectors such as electromobility, agro-industry, and clean technologies.

With a privileged location, a strong industrial base, and a clear economic development roadmap, Coahuila is rapidly becoming one of Mexico’s most attractive regions for investment. This momentum is driven by the efforts of Pro Coahuila – Office of Economic and Tourism Promotion, led by Sofía Delgadillo, who is spearheading initiatives to position the state as a benchmark for innovation, certainty, and global competitiveness.

“We are the strategic arm of the State Government to attract investment and turn ideas into successful projects,” explains Delgadillo.

From streamlining administrative processes to facilitating connections with local suppliers and institutions, Pro Coahuila provides comprehensive support for investors, ensuring the ideal conditions for successful operations.

Industrial Powerhouse with a Forward-Thinking Vision

Coahuila’s manufacturing strength is well established, especially in the automotive sector, where the state leads in auto parts and assembly production. Its industrial landscape also includes strong players in metalworking, agro-industry, and chemical manufacturing, supported by efficient supply chains and a highly specialized labor force.

Now, the state is also investing in emerging industries like IT services and renewable energy, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and innovation.

A Competitive and Inclusive Ecosystem for Growth

With five international border crossings that directly connect to Texas, first-rate logistics infrastructure, legal stability, and a pro-business government, Coahuila offers a competitive advantage few regions can match.

The state boasts state-of-the-art industrial parks, a robust technical education network, and a modern transportation system that streamlines the flow of goods and services.

Pro Coahuila’s investment strategy also embraces inclusivity. Through supplier development programs, alliances with universities and clusters, and support for SMEs, the agency is strengthening local value chains and boosting technological and operational capabilities across the ecosystem.

“Our human capital is our greatest strength,” Delgadillo emphasizes.

With dual education programs, technical certifications, and continuous training, Coahuila ensures a highly qualified, adaptable workforce tailored to the demands of global industry.

Coahuila’s economic momentum is matched by ambitious infrastructure projects designed to improve quality of life and business competitiveness—from border crossing upgrades and rail expansions to new industrial parks. Together, public and private investments are consolidating the state’s role as a strategic hub for global nearshoring.

Driven by innovation, coordination, and a commitment to talent, Coahuila isn’t just growing—it’s transforming into a key driver of sustainable industrial development in North America.
