Kickapoo Tribe and Grupo Industrial Monclova Announce Major Investment in Coahuila's Industrial Future

The Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas and Grupo Industrial Monclova have announced a significant investment of 1.45 billion pesos for the central region of Coahuila, expected to generate thousands of jobs.

Highlighting the investment from Eagle Pass, Texas, Coahuila Governor Manolo Jiménez Salinas emphasized the development of two strategic projects: the construction of an industrial park and the establishment of a stamping company for the automotive industry, both set to create substantial employment opportunities for the central region.

"The government does not make investments; it creates conditions for new investments like the one in Monclova," stated Jiménez Salinas. He further noted, "Coahuila is one of the most prosperous states in the country due to our strong relationship with investors who create jobs here."

This announcement aligns with the governor's commitment to the people of the central region through the Coahuila Global initiative. "Texas and Coahuila are like brothers; we were one state for a time and are great allies today. The Kickapoo live both here and there, embodying our shared history," he added. "We celebrate the GIMSA-Kickapoo alliance, which will strengthen our state with over five thousand new jobs."

From the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas, Council Member Kendall Scott expressed their enthusiasm for the joint effort to create productive centers that will improve the economy and generate more jobs and opportunities benefiting the community. He emphasized that this partnership exemplifies the coordinated efforts by the government to promote development for groups interested in Texas, particularly the indigenous Kickapoo people committed to the community and the environment.

"The Kickapoo honor our tradition of solidarity with our communities, a trait recognized by both Mexicans and Americans since the last century," Scott noted. He reiterated their commitment to the community with the mutual investment in Coahuila's central region, supporting auto parts production for export and constructing significant facilities to integrate companies and investors into a new regional dynamic.

Gerardo Benavides Pape Jr., representing Grupo Industrial Monclova, highlighted the historic nature of this alliance for Coahuila and the nation. "A binational indigenous community like the Kickapoo teaches us a great lesson with this initiative. Despite any adversity, they demonstrate a deep love for their land and a strong commitment to Mexico's development," he concluded.
