BorgWarner, a globally operating provider of mobility solutions for the automotive market, announced an investment in San Luis Potosi that includes a new production facility focused on power electronics components and electric motors. The supplier chose San Luis Potosí as a strategic location to be a key player in the supply chain for the industry in Mexico and globally. BorgWarner has already been operating in this state for more than eight years.

The production will be BorgWarner's first plant in San Luis Potosí to integrate a clean room and become a manufacturing center for electromobility. It will also house a product validation testing laboratory focused on inverters, enabling the development of new technologies in-house.

The Secretary of Economic Development of San Luis Potosí, Juan Carlos Valladares, and the Mayor of Villa De Reyes, Daniel Lagunas, participated in today's groundbreaking ceremony. Stefan Demmerle, President of BorgWarner Powerdrive Systems, and Ulises Pérez, Plant Manager of the San Luis Potosí plant, also addressed the attendees, emphasizing the significance of this new project and its importance for the future of BorgWarner.

"We are very proud of this project, which is firmly committed to enabling a sustainable future. Our Charging Forward 2027 strategy requires agility and innovation, which is why we have the responsibility to drive the transition to electrification not only in production but also in product development," says Dr. Stefan Demmerle, President and General Manager of BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems.

The new plant will be built in San Luis Potosí in the WTC 2 industrial park and is expected to be operational by the second quarter of 2024.

What does this mean?

Currently, BorgWarner has a plant in San Luis Potosí in the Tres Naciones industrial park, which is 100 percent focused on the assembly of integrated electric drive modules (iDM) for light electric vehicles for global OEM customers as well as components for E-motors. The current production is intended for both the national and international markets — and the demand for E-components is rising.
