The CEO of Phoenix Contact, Frank St\u00fchrenberg, emphasized this connection when he announced at Hannover Messe 2024 why Mexico, or more precisely the Quer\u00e9taro region, was becoming a focus for the Blomberg-based company. &#8220;From an international perspective, we will expand our production even further in order to shorten delivery routes for our products and solutions and thus reduce potential disruptions in the supply chains.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>When choosing the new location, proximity to the US market was just as important as access to resources and expertise for electronics production. &#8220;Mexico is located directly next to the USA, has the necessary competence clusters and also offers labor cost advantages,&#8221; said Dirk G\u00f6rlitzer, COO Phoenix Contact and Head of the Industrial Components and Electronics business area, explaining the decision. &#8220;Geographically speaking, Mexico offers the advantage of logistical connections from both the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific. The Quer\u00e9taro region is located in central Mexico between the central ports of Veracruz and Manzanillo and is logistically well connected to the USA.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"791\" src=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2024\/05\/Neuer-Produktionsstandort-Mexico.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10954\" srcset=\"https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2024\/05\/Neuer-Produktionsstandort-Mexico.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2024\/05\/Neuer-Produktionsstandort-Mexico-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/update.phoenixcontact.com\/media\/2024\/05\/Neuer-Produktionsstandort-Mexico-768x607.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">At the Hannover Messe, Dirk G\u00f6rlitzer and Frank St\u00fchrenberg met with Mauricio Kuri, Governor of Quer\u00e9taro, and Marco del Prete, Secretary Ministry of Sustainable Development in Quer\u00e9taro (from left)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The production site in the Quer\u00e9taro region is expected to have a total area of 20,000 m\u00b2 and around 700 employees by 2032.
