More ships, more promises?
The Mexican Association of Private Industrial Parks (AMPIP) presented the first 20 parks committed within the framework of the so-called Mexico Plan. The event was during their general assembly, where they recognized 15 developers. The question that floats in the air is simple: will this change something or is it another protocol act?
The official figures
According to the data, the investment exceeds 711 million dollars. The installed capacity is 3.5 million square meters to build warehouses.
It is estimated that around 245 companies will operate there, generating around 62 thousand direct jobs. The target sectors are light manufacturing, logistics, automotive, aerospace and medical devices.
Claudia Esteves, general director of AMPIP, highlighted public-private collaboration. In his words:
“The delivery of these first 20 parks is not just a number; it is proof that we are working in a coordinated manner with the Government of Mexico to promote the industrial and economic development of the country.”
Sounds good. It always sounds good when they talk about coordination. History has taught us to read between the lines.
The parks are in states considered strategic: Nuevo León, Baja California, Chihuahua, Jalisco and Mexico City. The idea is to cover key points for the production chains.
It remains to be seen whether these promises on paper materialize into real well-being and not just accounting balances. Time, as always, will have the last word.
