Construction of Factory In Mexico To Produce SUV In the Year 2016
The Board and the Supervisory Board of AUDI AG approved the project to build a production plant in Mexico. The exact location of this plant, which will begin manufacturing a SUV model in 2016, will be chosen later this year.
“As a location for the manufacture of automobiles, Mexico offers an excellent economic base for Audi’s production operations,” said Rupert Stadler, Chairman of the Board of AUDI AG.
Mexico is one of the top ten markets in the world and offers a mix of tradition and experience. The Volkswagen Group already has an auto plant in Puebla and an engine plant in Silao.
“A good infrastructure, competitive costs and the existing free trade agreements have played an important role in the choice of Mexico,” said Stadler. “This pioneering move will help us safeguard our global market position. Our German factories also benefit from it. “
“The new plant will become a full member of the Audi production network, and apply the latest standards in terms of resource efficiency and production processes,” said Frank Dreves, member of the Board of AUDI AG for Production. “Everything is top quality Audi, regardless of location.”
After the political decision, the next step is to conduct a detailed examination of various parts of Mexico. AUDI AG expects to choose the exact location of this year. “The factors to be taken into account not only include the specific characteristics of real estate and logistics links,” said Thomas Sigi, member of the Board of AUDI AG for Human Resources. He also cited the quality of life as a criterion. “It’s important for us to find qualified employees in the place of our choosing,” said Sigi, referring to the need for an effective infrastructure of schools and universities.
“The intensification of production capacity and safeguarding our growth while ensuring the capacity utilization of plants, in which we will increase the role of leaders for our technologies,” said Peter Mosch, Chairman of the Works Council of AUDI AG. “That means developing modern production methods and strategies, using new materials, joining technologies and addressing the field of electric mobility. For employees this means good jobs, insurance and additional perspectives on your career. Also offer a guarantee of employment. “
