Schneider Electric, a France-based multinational corporation, is set to significantly expand its manufacturing capabilities in Querétaro state, Mexico. This expansion will involve constructing 115,000 square meters of new industrial facilities, which are expected to generate 4,000 direct jobs by the end of 2027, according to the company's announcement.
The project includes two completed facilities and a third planned for a later phase, where the company will produce electrical distribution solutions, critical energy infrastructure equipment, and customized "engineer-to-order" projects.
Schneider Electric executives were present at the announcement alongside Governor Mauricio Kuri and Querétaro state officials, highlighting the expansion as a major development for energy management in the region and job creation in Quertaro. Querétaro, located in Mexico's Bajío region, offers the necessary talent, industrial capacity, and strategic location to advance the region's electrification and digitalization processes.
Guillaume Le Gouic, Senior Vice President of Power Systems and ETO for Schneider Electric, expressed delight at continuing to grow in Querétaro, crediting the state government for its support. Luis D’Acosta Anezin, President of Schneider Mexico and Central America, stated that the company feels "right at home" in Querétaro and anticipates this to be the first of many investments in the region.
As part of the expansion, Schneider Electric is currently hiring between 200 and 250 workers per month and investing in training engineers, technicians, and specialists in advanced manufacturing and energy infrastructure. Governor Mauricio Kuri stated that he expects the total job creation from the new facilities to reach 7,000 or 8,000 by 2028.
Schneider already has production plants in Querétaro, Nuevo León, and Tlaxcala, supporting industrial demand across North America and Central America. The company aims to strengthen production for sectors with a growing demand for electrical infrastructure, including data centers, industry, and the digital economy.
