Carlo Gavazzi Opens Semiconductor Manufacturing Plant in Tijuana

Italian electronics leader Carlo Gavazzi has celebrated the inauguration of its first manufacturing plant in Baja California, Mexico. Located in Tijuana’s Ciudad Industrial Otay, the facility represents a strategic move to strengthen the company’s footprint in the Americas, focusing on innovation and semiconductor production. 

“Tijuana is not only the most dynamic and fastest-growing manufacturing hub in the country but will also serve as our production base for the entire North American region. This facility will also house a research and development center to design innovative solutions for markets across North, Central, and South America. We are grateful to the government of Baja California for facilitating the establishment of this plant,” says Jean-Marc Theolier, CEO, Carlo Gavazzi America.

The 4,738m2 facility in Baja California is expected to contribute to the economic development of the region by creating 200 direct jobs in the Otay area. Carlo Gavazzi’s new plant will specialize in designing and producing advanced electronic components, including sensors, monitoring relays, timers, energy management systems, and safety devices.

“Thank you for trusting Baja California, for contributing to our state’s economic development, and for supporting the families in this region. Your commitment to innovation and semiconductors is deeply aligned with our priorities. We aim to provide the infrastructure and support businesses need to meet their quality, delivery, and production goals,” says Kurt Honold, Minister of Economy and Innovation of Baja California.
