HNI will invest 106 million dollars in Coahuila; will generate more than 1,000 jobs

HNI, a company of North American origin, announced an investment of 106 million dollars to open a manufacturing plant in Coahuila, where it will mainly manufacture office chairs. 

This project represents a direct generation of 1,200 jobs for the company and will begin operations this year. 

Max Sánchezarmas Alvelais, director of HNI, said that the help of state authorities to find solutions to all their concerns was a determining factor in choosing Coahuila as the destination for their investment. 

The arrival of the company, which will be located in the Mencorsa Industrial Park, in the municipality of Arteaga, is intended to meet the growing demand for its products in neighboring countries to the north. 

In this sense, the manager highlighted the privileged location that Coahuila has with the United States border and affirmed that the commercial relationship will be consolidated over the years.  

"Coahuila's workforce and its value chain are two capital gains that the entity has and that will benefit us to meet the demands of the furniture industry," he concluded. 

Announce more investments for Coahuila

Claudio Bres Garza, head of the Ministry of Economy, said that the mission of the current administration is to promote economic development in each state region. 

In this sense, he highlighted that, by the end of this governmental period, each area will have strengths that help its development, for example, he highlighted that in the Frontera, Monclova and Castaños region, close to 5,000 rail wagons will be produced thanks to the new investments. 

He also commented that the arrival of HNI will strengthen the furniture cluster that has grown since the previous year in Coahuila with the arrival of companies such as Ikano Industry and the recent expansions of La Z Boy in the Laguna Region.
