Geprom continues to strengthen its presence in the Mexican market with the execution of its first digital transformation projects at the production plants of Audi and Volkswagen. These new projects, along with the recent opening of a technical office in Puebla, represent a major step forward in Geprom’s commitment to the Mexican market.
The Audi plant in San José Chiapa (Puebla), established in 2016, produces around 150,000 vehicles per year and is a benchmark in Industry 4.0 engineering, with an automation level above 85% and over 700 robots on the production line, making it one of the most modern facilities in the world.
Meanwhile, Volkswagen, with over 65 years in Mexico, operates a nearby plant in Puebla where it manufactures over 10 vehicle models, including the Golf, Polo, and Tiguan. While its processes are already highly automated, the company is now investing 4 billion euros in digitalization to achieve full digital control of the plant.
At both of these cutting-edge factories, Geprom will implement Smart Factory projects, developing and integrating its MES system and other digital platforms for real-time monitoring, control, and production management. These solutions aim to achieve more flexible and efficient processes, increase OEE, and reduce production costs.
To enhance customer service and proximity, Geprom officially opened its Mexican subsidiary in February. It has also recently launched a technical office in Puebla to offer more personalized and robust support for digital transformation projects in Mexico’s industrial corridor — the region where most of the country’s manufacturing sector is concentrated.
This expansion project has been supported by ICEX Spain Export and Investment, through its ICEX NEXT program. The program supports Spanish SMEs in starting or consolidating international business and has assisted Geprom in all phases of its internationalization, particularly in international promotion.
