Under the agreement, Cie will expand its presence in the key Mexican market and own six factories there, the official told just-auto.
Mexico, Latin America’s second-largest economy, is key for Cie as the country is playing a growing role as a parts manufacturing hub supplying the US and Canada under the NAFTA free trade agreement.
Cie will continue to grow in Mexico through acquisitions or ‘green field’ manufacturing projects.
The Basque Country-based group carries out 52% of its production in Brasil, Mexico, Czech Republic, Portugal, Romania and China.
