Festo is investing $100 million to build a plant in Monterrey, Mexico to reinforce supply chains for key products used in the Americas. 

Construction has begun, with initial production slated for 2025. Once in operation, the plant will provide automation products and solutions for sectors in the western hemisphere, such as automotive, mining, pharmaceuticals and electronics. 

The plant site is located in the “Interpuerto Monterrey” industrial park, where other well-known international companies and customers also have manufacturing facilities. It’s located near the city’s airport and Festo Monterrey facilities, and is only 200 km from the US border.
