This is a fundamental investment to support WEG’s growth in the future"

This is a fundamental investment to support WEG’s growth in the future, as it strengthens our position in one of the largest markets in the world for the Company's product portfolio. In addition, with this investment we will be able to continue growing, both in production capacity and in the verticalization of operations, following our modular expansion strategy,” explains André Luis Rodrigues, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of WEG.

The proximity of the new land to WEG’s largest manufacturing site in the country will facilitate the integration of production processes and the verticalization of Mexican operations in the future, as well as the logistics process, allowing to share resources from the support areas between the units.
