Through the Ministry of Economy, the Mexican government announced that Unilever will invest 30 billion pesos for 2025-2028, creating 1,200 jobs: 400 direct and 800 indirect, as part of Plan Mexico.
President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo emphasized that the investment portfolio in our country totals more than $200 billion, the goal of which is to generate well-being for Mexicans.
Plan Mexico boosts investment by locating new companies in areas with the necessary resources for their production. In addition, the implementation of Wellness Hubs will increase interest in the country.
Unilever Global’s Executive Director of Supply Chain and Operations, Willem Uijen, emphasized the company’s long-term commitment to strengthening its operations, creating jobs, and taking innovation to new levels. Therefore, the 30 billion peso investment is one of the company’s most significant investments in Mexico.
He specified that 8 billion pesos of the total investment will be allocated to the start-up of its plant located in Salinas Victoria, Nuevo León, in addition to the 8 billion pesos already invested in its construction. This will generate 1,200 direct and indirect jobs for the more than 7,000 workers already employed by Unilever.
“I want to deeply thank President Claudia Sheinbaum, the Ministry of Economy, and the Government of Mexico for supporting us on this journey, in addition to creating an environment that encourages investment with social impact,” he emphasized.
Unilever Mexico’s general manager, Mildred Villegas, added that the remaining investment will be divided between its plants in Lerma and Tultitlán in the State of Mexico and Morelos.
