By GlobalDataVisteon plans to create a complete technology campus and further expand its presence in Querétaro. The company has acquired office space minutes away from VTCQ, which will be transformed into a laboratory building.
The laboratory will support vibration, environmental and EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) testing and it will be a fully capable DV/PV certification testing laboratory with up to 20 testing chambers.
The 2,175 square metre facility will house 35 engineers and technicians and include a 460-square metre mezzanine for up to another 70 engineers. Construction of the new lab is expected to be complete in the first half of 2020.
