TE Connectivity Launches MX$600M Plant in Querétaro

Global technology company TE Connectivity announced an investment exceeding MX$600 million (US$33 million) to establish a new Industrial and Commercial Transportation (ICT) plant in Querétaro, strengthening the state’s position as a strategic hub for the automotive and advanced electronics industries.

The project is expected to create nearly 1,000 specialized jobs over the long term, expanding TE Connectivity’s capacity to produce electrical connectors, sensors, relays, and components for electric vehicles (EVs), industrial automation, data centers, and communications infrastructure.

According to Hugo García, TE Connectivity’s Director of Operations, the new facility began operating in 2024 and will scale from an initial 115 to 120 employees to about 900 as demand increases. “The project has already started operations and follows a growth path toward 900 people,” García said. The investment, ranging from MX$500 million to MX$600 million, will expand the company’s technical portfolio and engineering capacity in Querétaro.

The ICT plant will integrate design, engineering, and manufacturing to deliver customized solutions, aiming to boost local content and shorten response times for global customers. The operation will also reinforce collaboration with clients requiring high standards of safety, cost efficiency, and reliability in electric and industrial platforms.

Querétaro Governor Mauricio Kuri highlighted the state’s role in attracting high-value manufacturing projects. “Nearly 1,000 jobs and close to MX$600 million show that companies consider Querétaro as a place to invest,” he said. State officials emphasized that the investment reflects local strengths in legal certainty, rule of law, and specialized talent development.

With more than 75 years in operation and 80,000 employees worldwide, TE Connectivity aims for the Querétaro facility to meet the highest environmental and traceability standards demanded by the automotive and technology sectors.

The project will also stimulate local supply chains, creating opportunities for engineers, technicians, and regional suppliers in electrical processes, plastics, precision machining, and testing services. The integration of design and production is expected to increase regional value content and strengthen supply chains across the Bajío region and northern Mexico.
