ZC Rubber comes rolling into Coahuila
Asian tyre producer confirms its commitment to Mexico
With an investment of 10 billion pesos, the Asian company ZC Rubber announced its arrival in Coahuila with the construction of its first plant to manufacture tyres for light and heavy vehicles.
The governor of Coahuila, Manolo Jiménez Salinas, made this project a reality during his tour of Asia, which will generate thousands of jobs and will be the first of several investments that he will be announcing.
"From Shanghai, together with the president of ZC Rubber, our Pro-Coahuila and Embassy teams, we formalized the announcement of the construction of this great Asian company in the state," said the head of the company on the social network.
He also pointed out that this management began several months ago during his first tour of Asia and in this new promotion he took the opportunity to give continuity and engage in dialogue with the president of the company Jin Rong Shen and vice president HaoYu Shen.
After the activities of the Beijing Auto Show 2024, they traveled to Shanghai to continue holding meetings and announce the new investment in a concrete way.
On the other hand, the governor pointed out that they are in coordination with Coahuila businessmen of the industrial parks to specify the exact location of these projects, as he will soon announce new investments from these working tours.
Site selection
In the case of ZC Rubber, the firm is looking to establish a manufacturing plant with a potential size of up to 600,000 square meters and will also be equipped with a dedicated North American warehouse to improve the local distribution network and optimize profitability.
This project is expected to adopt the Future Factory concept, which focuses on environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, high automation and overall operational efficiency.
The Asian company estimates that the first phase of construction will be completed in approximately 12 months, i.e. in May 2025. While its location is envisaged to be only 250 kilometers from the US border, making it the ideal choice to meet the dynamic demands of both markets.
