Austrian Supplier HENN Opens Automotive Manufacturing Plant in Guanajuato with US$4 Million Investment

HENN has inaugurated its HENN Americas manufacturing facility in Silao, reinforcing the Bajío region’s role as a strategic hub for advanced automotive production. The project represents an investment of approximately US$4 million and is expected to create up to 100 direct jobs.

The new plant integrates into Guanajuato’s well-established industrial ecosystem, which combines robust logistics infrastructure, a skilled workforce, and the presence of major OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. By expanding production capacity for high-precision automotive components, the facility strengthens regional supply networks and supports growing demand for specialized parts.

Supporting Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chain Integration

HENN’s investment focuses on technically complex processes associated with automotive component production, enhancing the region’s capacity to supply high-value systems to global manufacturers. The addition of new manufacturing capabilities contributes to deeper local integration of the automotive value chain and improves competitiveness across North American production platforms.

Guanajuato continues to position itself as a center for advanced manufacturing, particularly in sectors requiring precision engineering, high-quality standards, and reliable logistics connectivity.

Strengthening Mexico–Austria Industrial Cooperation

The establishment of HENN Americas also reinforces economic ties between Mexico and Austria, bringing additional technological expertise and innovation into the Bajío’s industrial landscape. International companies continue to view Guanajuato as a favorable location for long-term operations due to its stable business environment and access to skilled technical talent.

By attracting specialized suppliers, the state further diversifies its industrial base while increasing the technological content of local manufacturing activities.
