More to come

Mexico’s manufacturing sector will be pleased to welcome back into operation the Ford Motor Co. plant in Cuautitlán Izcalli, outside Mexico City, in 2010, local media are reporting.  The plant, shuttered since 2008, is currently being adapted to begin producing the Ford Fiesta automobile early next year.  In addition to helping skilled employment recover in the Cuautitlán industrial area, bringing the plant back on line will provide a much needed boost to some 20 autoparts suppliers located in the area.

While overall vehicle manufacturing continues to suffer worldwide, we have seen a number of instances in which Mexican manufacturing facilities have taken on additional production following plant closures in other countries.  While it’s not ideal for the industry, we won’t turn it down.
