New Automotive Plant in Nuevo Leon: Grupo GP and Volvo lay the foundation stone

GP Construcción is proud to announce the start of one of the largest and most ambitious industrial projects in the state of Nuevo León: the new Volvo plant located in the strategic municipality of Ciénega de Flores.  

The ceremony held to lay the first stone of the new automotive plant was attended by important figures such as the governor of Nuevo León, Samuel García Sepúlveda, the mayor of Ciénega de Flores, Miguel Ángel Quiroga Treviño, the Swedish ambassador to Mexico, Gunnar Aldén, and Volvo executives. 

Also in attendance were leaders of Grupo GP such as Jose María Garza Treviño, President of the Group; Diego Garza de Silva, director of GP Construcción; Jóse María Garza De Silva, director of GP Desarrollos and Eugenio Garza De Silva, director of Brio Energía; companies that will be in charge of carrying out the monumental work. 

During the event, both Governor Samuel Garcia and representatives of Volvo, GP Group and the Swedish Ambassador shared words of welcome and highlighted the importance of this project that will boost industrial development in the region. 

The Volvo project, which will be built in the strategic location of Ciénega de Flores, provides access to various export routes and proximity to the U.S., thus consolidating Nuevo León's position as an epicenter of the automotive industry and advanced manufacturing in Mexico.

The plant will focus on manufacturing heavy-duty vehicles for the Volvo and Mack brands and is scheduled to start operations in 2026, meeting growing demand in markets such as the United States and Canada, as well as Mexico and Latin America. 

It has an investment of US$700 million and will be built on a 127-hectare site, generating approximately 2,500 direct jobs and up to 5,000 indirect jobs.

This development is significant for Grupo GP, as it represents the first time that three of its sister companies -GPConstrucción, GP Desarrollos and Brio Energía-collaborate together to materialize a project in its entirety, strengthening the Group's commitment to innovation and excellence at every stage of the project.
