More investment and expansions to be concreted at GIP

Guanajuato Inland Port (GIP) shows a continuous growth, due to that at least 40 companies have announced more expansion plans such as Nivea and Pirelli, which are in that process and were the first companies in being installed in this part of the industrial park.

In this respect, Luis Quiroz, president of Guanajuato Inland Port, said that these expansions will generate between 4 thousand to 5 thousand more jobs, considering an average of 100; although he said that there will be companies which in their expansion will be hiring 500 or nobody because maybe the expansion is only for equipment.

He emphasized that even some companies that do not have enough space to fulfill their expansions are buying more property lands in GIP, either to settle new machinery or as part of the opening of more production lines.

“All those projects are already taking place or about to start, the fact is that they will be concreted by the end of this year,” he noted.

He explained that despite the renewal of the Free Trade Agreement and fiscal reforms, companies have a vision in a medium and long term for investments and added that it is important because they make a decision that even sometimes it implies duplicating the investment they originally have,” he explained.

“This kind of investments and the fact that things are going right despite the uncertainly is interesting, as regarding the FTA, a moment of analysis will be opened, it will be signed and it is going to be fine,” he explained.

He highlighted that in the business sector there is interest due to the Know How appearance after this moment of uncertainty, therefore he did not discard that Inland Port continues growing and offering more and better services for the industry.

“We are very encouraged by companies continue expanding, but particularly we are interested in technology development.”
