SESAJAL to invest MXN 1.2 billion to expand PILA Industrial Park in Jalisco

The expansion of La Laja Industrial Park (PILA), in Zapotlanejo, reinforces Jalisco’s position as one of Mexico’s main industrial, agroindustrial and export centers. The project, promoted by Grupo SESAJAL, includes accumulated investment of MXN 1.2 billion once all development phases are completed.

The inauguration of the complex’s second phase marks a new step in the consolidation of strategic productive infrastructure designed to meet the growing demand for industrial space and strengthen the supply chains of sectors with high growth potential.

SESAJAL accelerates its expansion with a global vision

Founded in 1989, Grupo SESAJAL has consolidated itself as one of Jalisco’s most relevant agroindustrial companies, with a presence in more than 35 countries and operations across different international markets.

The company has maintained a constant expansion strategy that is now reflected in the growth of PILA Industrial Park, considered one of the most important industrial projects in the region.

Íñigo González Covarrubias, President of SESAJAL, highlighted that the development of the park responds to the company’s sustained growth and the need to expand operating capabilities to serve new markets.

The group currently generates around 2,500 jobs and maintains a strong presence in the municipality of Zapotlanejo, where nearly 500 employees carry out their activities within the industrial complex.

“Our mission is not only to invest and obtain strong returns, but to give back to this land everything it has given us through decent and well-paid jobs,” González Covarrubias said.

Infrastructure to drive new investments

The PILA project includes three development phases involving land acquisition, urbanization, construction of new industrial buildings and specialized energy infrastructure.

Once completed, the park will have:

• 24 industrial buildings.
• More than 47,000 square meters of covered construction.
• Electrical infrastructure with 3.3 MVA capacity.
• Spaces designed for the installation and growth of manufacturing, logistics and agroindustrial companies.

These capabilities will strengthen the regional productive ecosystem and create favorable conditions for the arrival of new investments.

Jalisco strengthens its profile as an export powerhouse

The expansion of industrial infrastructure comes at a time of growth for the state economy. Jalisco has consolidated itself as the country’s leading non-border exporting state and maintains a strong position in attracting productive investment.

Among the sectors currently driving this performance are agroindustry, where the state contributes around 17% of the food consumed in Mexico, and the technology industry, particularly in areas linked to advanced electronics and semiconductors.

During the inauguration event, Governor Pablo Lemus highlighted that Jalisco currently ranks fifth nationally in exports and maintains a positive trend in investment attraction, driven by the diversification of its productive base and the specialization of its industries.

Agroindustry and technology: the engines of growth

One of the factors that distinguishes Jalisco is the combination of highly competitive traditional sectors with next-generation industries.

On one hand, agroindustry continues to be a fundamental driver of the state economy thanks to its export capacity and the integration of increasingly sophisticated value chains. On the other, the evolution of technology manufacturing has allowed the state to move from electronics production toward higher-value-added activities related to semiconductor design and development.

This combination has made Jalisco a national benchmark for companies seeking to operate in an environment with specialized talent, modern infrastructure and access to international markets.

A strategic project for regional development

Beyond its business impact, the expansion of PILA Industrial Park represents an opportunity to strengthen regional competitiveness, promote job creation and expand installed capacity for new productive projects.

With long-term investments, specialized infrastructure and a growing export vocation, initiatives such as SESAJAL’s reflect the private sector’s confidence in Jalisco’s industrial potential and its capacity to continue positioning itself as one of Mexico’s most attractive investment destinations.
