Emotiv Mobility announced a US$150 million investment to establish a new office and manufacturing facility in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, aiming to strengthen its operational footprint in Mexico and support clients across North America. The facility will handle just-in-time assembly programs, material sequencing, and modular subassembly (MSS) operations, aligning with evolving vehicle platforms and production requirements across the automotive sector. The Monterrey plant is designed to adapt to fluctuating client demand while maintaining efficiency and flexibility in both manufacturing and logistics processes.
Shaun Twomey, vice president of commercial operations and strategy, Emotiv Mobility, emphasized the strategic importance of Mexico for automotive manufacturing in North America. “This expansion reflects a long-term commitment to providing clients with operational capabilities that meet current industry requirements, integrating engineering, flexible execution and comprehensive supply chain support,” he said.
The company highlighted Mexico’s role as a critical industrial platform for North American manufacturing, citing a robust automotive ecosystem, integrated supply chains and growing demand for resilient production operations. Monterrey and the state of Nuevo León have emerged as key centers for advanced manufacturing and logistics, benefiting from modern infrastructure, specialized talent and proximity to major industrial corridors in northern Mexico and the United States. Emotiv Mobility stated that the expansion will enhance its ability to support OEMs and strategic partners through scalable manufacturing, sequencing, subassembly, packaging and just-in-time production execution.
The expansion is part of Emotiv Mobility’s broader global growth strategy, which focuses on advanced energy systems, intelligent integration and manufacturing solutions for emerging mobility markets.
