Ford – Success story
Diesel engines plant in
Chihuahua with an
investment of 800 million
USD, this being the first
time that the diesel engine
is being manufactured in
America with flexibility for
vehicles which can use
alternative fuel.
Mexico reported 232
aerospace companies that
employed more than
30,000 workers in 2010,
and primarily serve the US,
Canadian, German and
French markets

Labinal – Safran Group
• Labinal operates two plants in the
state of Chihuahua that are
focused on electrical systems.
• The future plan is to bring other
service lines to Mexico, thanks to
the positive experience the
company has enjoyed operating in
Mexico over the last 20 years,
where the great advantage has
been based on Mexican engineering
talent.
• Labinal is the company that offers
the largest number of jobs in the
entire sector, with more than
2,000 employees including
engineers and technicians.
Bombardier Success Story
• Bombardier opened its new plant
in Querétaro Aerospace Park, with
an investment of 255.9 million
USD. This project will generate
approximately 1,105 direct jobs.
• The Learjet 85 is a project
surrounded by technological
innovation, the use of new
compound materials for the
production of structures such as
the fuselage, wings, control
surfaces, among other pieces, will
facilitate the creation of a
completely different airplane from
the current Learjet models.
The production of the first
Learjet 85 prototype is an
achievement for the Mexican
aerospace sector.
