translated from Spanish: Jalisco industry, benefited by Covid-19 pandemic in China

Guadalajara, Jalisco.- The mass-production paralysis of Chinese companies by the Coronavirus opens an opportunity to attract new companies to Jalisco.De agreement with The Secretary of Economic Development of Jalisco, Ernesto Sánchez Proal, firms of both China and Europeans and Americans would be looking to expand production lines in the state to curb dependence on the Asian country.

“In the last four or six executive weeks of these large companies have approached us precisely to find ways to carry out manufacturing projects and production processes on advanced manufacturing issues”

Reported Sánchez Proal.He emphasized that these projects would be from the automotive and electronics sector, and it is expected that in the second half of this year they will begin to move to the state.This movement could involve four companies that have operations both in the country Asian and Jalisco state, with whom Sanchez Proal says he has already had serious rapprochements about the project that could be implemented by the end of 2020.

“They’re going to bring in more projects, electronic industry firms, that will be moving projects from China to Jalisco in the medium term, that is, it’s not this month or the month that comes in, but I think the second half, maybe by the end of this year already seeing projects coming from China to Jalisco precisely because of that bucket of cold water that has been the Coronavirus.”

He added the head of Economic Development of Jalisco and accepted that although there is currently a desupply of components for the manufacture of the State, this does not represent damage to the project. Finally, he said that in November, one of the Chinese companies that attracted the entity during 2019 could begin operations.
