Helvex Invests US$20 Million in Guanajuato, Expanding Bathroom Solutions Manufacturing

A new Helvex plant focused on high-technology materials was inaugurated in Apaseo el Grande, Guanajuato, with an investment of US$20 million and the creation of 500 jobs. The project reinforces the state’s position as a reliable destination for industrial and manufacturing investment.

Industrial expansion strengthens the Bajío region

The opening of the facility forms part of the company’s growth strategy in Mexico, aimed at expanding production capacity and meeting both domestic and international demand. The plant incorporates processes focused on high-technology materials, raising the industrial profile of the municipality and its integration into more specialized value chains.

During the event, Cristina Villaseñor, Secretary of Sustainable Economic Development, joined Governor Libia Dennise García Muñoz Ledo, who emphasized that investments of this kind reinforce Guanajuato’s economic momentum. The arrival of new industrial projects reflects the state’s infrastructure, connectivity, and available human capital.

Investment boosts employment and competitiveness

The creation of 500 direct jobs represents a significant impact for the region in terms of income generation and technical talent development. Projects of this scale also create indirect opportunities in supplier networks, logistics services, and industrial maintenance.

The establishment of the plant in Apaseo el Grande further strengthens the Bajío industrial corridor, one of the country’s most concentrated manufacturing zones. The region has maintained a consistent trend of attracting investment in sectors such as auto parts, appliances, and construction, contributing to a more diversified productive base.

Helvex’s new facility also responds to the need to bring production closer to key consumer markets, at a time when supply chain relocation trends continue to enhance Mexico’s competitiveness. Guanajuato remains strategically positioned due to its location and access to logistics infrastructure.

With this investment, the state reaffirms its capacity to attract value-added industrial projects that support economic growth and create favorable conditions for future business expansion.
