Querétaro has become the leading state in attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the aerospace sector in the country and proof of this was the making of six investment announcements for the state, which represented more than US$117 million and the generation of 1,950 new jobs in the short term.

Marco Antonio del Prete, head of the Querétaro Sustainable Development Secretariat (Sedesu), mentioned that these six investment announcements were made during the Paris Air Show in France last June.

In an interview with A21, the Secretary of State said that with this investment the number of indirect jobs generated could be doubled; almost 4,000, due to the development of suppliers and the contracting of indirect services, among others.

He specified that of these investment projects, the largest was that of Safran, for US$93 million and the generation of 800 jobs.

This project is the installation of a turbine test bench, which represents progress, since this bench is added to the plant and engine repair.

"With a test bench for maintenance, the process is expanded, not only for manufacturing and maintenance, but it opens the door to the manufacture of more complex propulsion elements," he said.

Del Prete Tercero added that there are also projects by the Canadian company Dellastek, which manufactures airplane cabins and solar panels; ITP Aéreo, which manufactures turboparts; General Power; Albany, a component company; and the Airbus assembler.
