"This investment represents the opportunity to promote the development of local supply chains, since they are currently the only company of its kind in Mexico and supply companies in the automotive, electronics, medical and agricultural industries, for which they foresee a new investment in the medium term”, commented the head of the Secretary of Economic Development (Sedeco) of Jalisco, Roberto Arechederra.

The state official stressed that Haitian could serve as an anchor company to attract new investment from Chinese companies, and stressed that it will directly strengthen the electromobility industry.

“China is the second most important commercial partner of Jalisco, with a trade of 14,417 million dollars at the end of 2022, and I am sure that with this opening of Haitian operations this important relationship will continue to be strengthened, with a country as relevant as China is, and with a region as important as Jalisco is,” mentioned the head of Sedeco.
