Nidec places cornerstone of its expansion in Reynosa

Motores de Reynosa (Nidec) started the construction of the second operations plant located in Reynosa, Tamaulipas.  The startup of the construction was held within a ceremony in which state and municipal government authorities, as well as directives from the company, placed the cornerstone of what will be this plant dedicated to the manufacturing of engines for the robotic industry.

The new Nidec plant will be built with an investment of 25 million dollars and will allow the generation of 400 direct jobs which will be added to more than 1,300 employees the company founded in this city in 1995 has. This new plant will be erected on a surface larger than the 150,000 square meters, with the possibility of being expanded to 50,000 square meters more.

The cornerstone ceremony of this new plant was attended by Masao Sambe, president of Nidec; Michael Briggs, president of Nidec America; Greg Levine, president of Nidec Motion Control and Marisol Garza Carreri, human resources director of the company in Latin America.

The governor of Tamaulipas, Francisco Garcia Cabeza de Vaca, was the gest honor in the ceremony and underlined that the expansion of this company in the state is an example of the confidence the economic development registered in the entity has generated.

“The best formula to be able to fight poverty is by generating richness, investment, employment, there is no other formula and it is on that in which we are concentrated, my government is focused on generating that trust to return investment, as it is happening,” he said.

The governor also underlined the labor stability that has distinguished the entity thanks to continuous communication and collaboration among the productive, labor and government sectors.

Greg Levine highlighted that “when we started our robotics division in 2014 we could choose any place in the world to build this plant, and our Factory in Reynosa have never launched any new product before, but its people did a great job by releasing our new products.”
