Mexico's main advantage over Asia was the diversification of sales, since while the bulk of South Korea's auto parts production is for its assembly plants (such as Hyundai, Kia and SsangYong), Mexico serves several Asian, American and European brands, explained Oscar Albin, president of INA. Since 2009, the auto parts sector in Mexico has recorded a sustained increase and in 2012 production reached a historic

Luis M. Barreiro Hernández, director of the marketing area of Grupo GMI (Sistemas Modernos de Construcción) explained that the works to be carried out will cover 6,000 to 8,000 square meters, which represents "investments for medium-term return.
