“Johnson Controls is strongly committed to producing world-class automotive seating systems and is proud to bring this new facility to Queretaro,” said Johnson Controls foam product group VP and general manager, Brian Cooke.
“We are pleased to become a part of and support the Queretaro community.”
The new 100,000-sq ft. (9,300-sq m) plant will supply seating foam to major automakers in central Mexico.
The facility has one foam line and employs around 150 people.
As it reaches full production in around five years, the number of employees is expected to increase.
