Japanese companies Senyo and ATECS will invest $31 million to build plants in the municipalities of Abasolo and León.
The investment announcement was made during Guanajuato Governor Libia García Muñoz Ledo’s working visit to Japan.
“The project includes the installation of cutting-edge technology, such as CNC lathes and automated inspection systems, which will allow us to maintain the company’s hallmark high quality standards,” the state government announced.
Senyo has been manufacturing high-precision mechanical components such as bearings and machined parts used in the automotive and industrial machinery industries for more than six decades.
“Its main clients include renowned companies such as NTN Corporation, Sanyo SpecialSteel Co., Ltd., and Okida Iron Works Co., Ltd., which speaks to its strength in the market and its commitment to quality,” she explained.
In the announcement of the Sanyo investment, which will generate 70 jobs, the governor said that the State of Guanajuato is proud to have the trust of Sanyo, a world-class company.
“The relationship we have with Japan is very strong, not only economically, but also in terms of values, and we work to ensure that the more than 2,000 Japanese living in Guanajuato feel at home and learn from each other about our cultures and traditions,” she said before Senyo President Masafumi Kishida.
The company ATECS announced an $11 million investment to build a plant in the city of León, which will generate 130 jobs.
Construction of the plant will begin in 2026 and will manufacture precision plastic insert-molded parts for the automotive industry.
The parts are for electric and hybrid vehicles sold in Canada and the United States. Its main customers are Honda and Panasonic.
“We are here to express our gratitude and reaffirm our commitment to investing in Guanajuato, because we know that investment represents trust, and that is very important,” said Libia García.
$8.9 billion in Japanese investments have arrived in the state of Guanajuato between 2006 and 2025, representing 48,000 jobs, the governor recalled.
