April 24, 2026
German company Hirschvogel Group confirmed a new investment project in Querétaro to expand its plant in San Juan del Río, with a focus on casting, forging, and machining processes for aluminum components. This expansion strengthens the state’s industrial capacity and its integration into global value chains.
Industrial expansion strengthens aluminum capabilities
The announcement followed a meeting in Munich between company executives and state authorities, as part of Querétaro’s investment attraction agenda after its participation in Hannover Messe. The project aims to expand the company’s presence in the state, where it already operates as a strategic supplier to the automotive and manufacturing sectors.
The expansion focuses on high value-added industrial processes, particularly aluminum transformation, a key material in the transition toward lighter and more efficient industries such as automotive and aerospace. With this, the company strengthens its position in segments where innovation and precision are decisive.
Querétaro consolidates its appeal for foreign investment
State authorities highlighted that Hirschvogel’s decision reflects the industrial ecosystem developed in Querétaro, characterized by specialized talent, logistics infrastructure, and favorable conditions for advanced manufacturing. This environment has allowed the state to attract projects that increase regional competitiveness.
Hirschvogel’s expansion adds to a series of recent announcements resulting from Querétaro’s international promotion efforts, as part of activities linked to its participation in Hannover Messe in Germany. This confirms the interest of European companies in consolidating operations in Mexico and leveraging the country’s strategic position in North America.
