Nuevo León Strengthens its Industrial Leadership with the Arrival of Intretech

In a strategic move that reinforces the economic dynamism of the region, the governor of Nuevo León, Samuel Alejandro García Sepúlveda, led the official inauguration of the new manufacturing plant of the company Intretech in the municipality of Apodaca. This project, which represents an investment of more than 100 million dollars, is projected to generate between 1,500 and 2,000 new direct jobs, consolidating the drive for industrial development and the attraction of capital in the entity.

The event was attended by the state Secretary of Economy, Betsabé Rocha, and the mayor of Apodaca, César Garza Arredondo, marking a significant milestone in the economic promotion agenda. During his speech, the state president emphasized the strategic role that Apodaca plays within the productive ecosystem of Nuevo León, highlighting it as the leading municipality in infrastructure and industry.

A State That Makes a Difference in Attracting Investments

Governor García Sepúlveda’s statements were forceful in underlining the positioning of Nuevo León. “Nuevo León is in first place in everything: formality, education, income, employment… and with the best salaries,” he stated. “We have generated almost 400 thousand new jobs this year. We can no longer be compared with other states. We are heading towards 100 billion dollars of investment between now and November. We continue to be the epicenter of nearshoring, and we welcome companies like Intretech, which bet on the best state: their investment is going to multiply.”

This speech reflects confidence in the state economic model, based on stability, qualified labor and a favorable environment for business, key factors that have captured the attention of global companies in the context of the phenomenon of nearshoring or relocation of supply chains.

Intretech: Smart Manufacturing for Global Markets

For his part, Linden Lin, President of the Board of Directors of Intretech México, expressed his gratitude to the state and municipal authorities for the support received to materialize this project. Lin assured that this new facility is not just a production plant, but will function as a strategic hub for the company’s manufacturing and operational efficiency throughout America.

Founded in 2011, Intretech specializes in what is known as Smart Manufacturing or advanced technological manufacturing. Its product portfolio is diverse and highly complex, including critical electronic components such as automotive rearview mirrors with assistance systems, next-generation hearing aids, devices for the Internet of Things (IoT) and sophisticated navigation systems. The new plant in Apodaca will be focused on strengthening electronic manufacturing for key sectors of the global economy, such as automotive, medical, energy and consumer products.

Mayor César Garza Arredondo stressed that this inauguration is another example of the economic leadership that distinguishes his municipality. Apodaca has generated approximately 10 thousand jobs so far this year, of which more than half correspond to the manufacturing sector, a fact that demonstrates the robustness of its industrial park and its ability to attract high-impact projects.

The arrival of Intretech not only implies the creation of direct jobs, but also the strengthening of the regional value chain and the transfer of knowledge in cutting-edge technologies. These types of investments are essential to maintain Nuevo León’s competitiveness on the international stage, positioning it as a benchmark in innovation and production of high value-added goods. The synergy between the government, private initiative and academia is consolidated as the pillar of the entity’s economic success, projecting a future of sustained growth and opportunities.

Short and long term Air Force plan

The head of the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena), Ricardo Trevilla Trejo, confirmed that the Army, the Air Force and the National Guard have a development plan for aircraft. It includes short, medium and long-term acquisitions, with emphasis on cargo aircraft, personnel transport and helicopters.

“We give priority to cargo aircraft, personnel transport and helicopters. We apply them a lot in the DN-III-E Plan and in operations,” he said during the morning conference on July 16.

The plan also includes a military equipment and industry factory to supply the dependencies. In the long term, until 2050, the replacement of the F-5 aircraft, acquired in 1982, is planned. Of a fleet of 10, only three are still in operation.

Sedena began the search for replacements for the F-5. Federal sources indicated that it plans to acquire 12 new fighters before 2028 to reinforce airspace surveillance. Among the options, the Swedish Gripen E and F fighters, from the Saab company, stand out, with a cost of more than 100 million dollars per unit. The Air Force has already received a presentation of these aircraft, which offer advanced radar technology and low maintenance costs.

The acquisition takes place in a tense geopolitical context, with conflicts such as the war between Russia and Ukraine, and tensions between Israel, the United States and Iran. Sedena evaluates options in the international defense market to meet the established deadlines.

The Defense posture

General Ricardo Trevilla Trejo rejected that the former Secretary of Security of Sinaloa, Gerardo Mérida Sánchez — singled out by the United States for alleged links to organized crime — has a working relationship with the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena).

“General Mérida Sánchez will retire in 2022 and has no employment relationship with Sedena. Only administrative ties with the ISSFA for payment and medical service issues,” he declared during the morning conference on June 16.

Regarding the statements of the interim governor of Sinaloa, Yeraldine Bonilla, who assured that Sedena sent Mérida to the State Security Secretariat, Trevilla attributed the statement to a misinterpretation. He explained that states can request an opinion on the history of a retired military officer, but the final decision rests with the local authority.

Accusations in the United States

Mérida Sánchez is one of 10 Sinaloan officials mentioned by Washington for alleged agreements with the Sinaloa criminal group. The Department of Justice accuses him of receiving bribes of $100,000 a month from “Los Chapitos” in exchange for information about operations.

On June 1, he appeared in a New York court. Judge Katherine Polk Failla called the evidence “abundant” and set a new hearing for August 4. Mérida arrived handcuffed and handcuffed after voluntarily surrendering on May 11 in Mexico.

Trevilla stated that Sedena has no information about the case: “It is an issue handled by the FGR or US authorities.”

Omar García Harfuch, head of the SSPC, identified a new type of extortion in the State of Mexico. A supposed manager offers protection to merchants against legal actions by the municipality. If they don’t pay, fake inspectors close the business.

Call to report

This Tuesday morning, García Harfuch reiterated the call to report to 089. He guaranteed that there have been no leaks against the victims.

“Yes, we have already had cases and detainees of this type,” he confirmed.

Regarding confidentiality, he added:

“It is important that citizens know that when they report through the 089 mechanism, or in the institutions of the Security Cabinet, we have not had a single leak or repercussion against the victims.”

He insisted: “It is very important, please report and we will deliver results.”
