Yazaki expands operations in Chihuahua

As part of a strategy to expand operations, the Yazaki company inaugurated the Yazaki Tooling Center in the city of Chihuahua.

To carry out this new operation, the company made an investment of two million dollars. In addition, 22 jobs of high educational level were created, with engineering profiles, design of tools, products, processes, assemblies and component tests, among others.

"This very timely investment arrives that shows us before the world with firmness and conviction how great this area is," said the head of the Ministry of Innovation and Economic Development, Alejandra De la Vega.

The Yazaki Tooling Center is a new center of administration and design of plastic injection molds of automotive components, in which only Chihuahuan talent works and where new products are designed, in addition to engineering.

“It has been innovated in the way of doing business and betting on modernity, with this new investment you can lower your costs by transferring equipment from the United States to Mexico, to do here, what was normally carried out in countries like China, Japan and Portugal, ”said De la Vega Arizpe.

This new project is aligned with the Exponential Chihuahua project, which seeks to make Chihuahuan talent stay in the state.

The company has generated more than 14,000 jobs in 16 plants in Chihuahua, which are added to those generated by Yazaki Tooling Center. In Ciudad Juarez alone they have 8,000 jobs, this since their arrival in the state in 2001.
