The expansion, which began in 2021, will allow Brembo to double the factory's production and will improve all stages of the aluminum Calipers production process, from casting to manufacturing and assembly, creating 500 jobs by 2027 in this process.
This 30,000 square meter plant expansion, located in the Pocket Park Escobedo Industrial Park, will help Brembo meet its goal of making six million Calipers, and surpass the nearly three million parts they made prior to this investment.
"The expansion of the Escobedo plant greatly increases Brembo's ability to serve our customers in North America.
"As Brembo continues to advance in the braking world, advanced facilities like this one help realize our vision. This represents another step in our mission to be a solutions provider and serve our customers globally," said Brembo North America President Stéphane Rolland.
He highlighted Nuevo Leon as "a great place to do business," with a privileged location that allows it to be very close to the United States. "There are great skills, talent and a competitive environment that is conducive to Brembo's growth."
The governor of the state, Samuel García Sepúlveda, thanked Brembo for making this important investment, while highlighting what Nuevo León represents for nearshoring. "We are the number one state in nearshoring, 72 percent of nearshoring that comes to Mexico comes to Nuevo León."
He announced that he will travel to Korea this weekend, with the objective of "turning Nuevo León into a world center of electromobility, where electric cars, new batteries and other products are produced."
For his part, José María Garza de Silva, CEO of GP Desarrollos, the group that owns the industrial park where the Italian multinational is located, expressed his gratitude for the work they have done together with Brembo.
"Our relationship with Brembo is one of our most successful stories today. We have had the pleasure of doing business since 2014, and I must say that Brembo is not only one of our great customers, but also one of our most challenging. We are grateful for this opportunity to grow alongside them."
The inaugural event was also attended by the Italian Ambassador to Mexico, Luigi De Chiara, in addition to several Mexican authorities and institutional representatives.
