New Automotive Plant in Nuevo León: Grupo GP and Volvo Lay the Cornerstone
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 strategically important municipality of Ciénega de Flores.
The ceremony to lay the cornerstone of the new automotive plant was attended by prominent 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.
In addition, leaders from Grupo GP were in attendance, including Jose María Garza Treviño, the Group’s president; 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 responsible for carrying out this monumental project.
During the event, Governor Samuel García, representatives from Volvo and Grupo GP, and the Swedish ambassador all offered words of welcome and highlighted the importance of this project, which will drive industrial development in the region.
The Volvo project, which will be built in a strategic location such as Ciénega de Flores, provides access to various export routes and is close to the U.S., thereby strengthening Nuevo León’s position as a hub for 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 begin operations in 2026, meeting the growing demand in markets such as the United States and Canada, as well as in Mexico and Latin America.
The project involves an investment of $700 million and will be built on a 127-hectare site, creating approximately 2,500 direct jobs and up to 5,000 indirect jobs.
This development is significant for Grupo GP, as it marks the first time that three of its sister companies—GP Construcción, GP Desarrollos, and Brio Energía—have collaborated to bring a project to fruition from start to finish, reinforcing the Group’s commitment to innovation and excellence at every stage of the project.
