Italian luxury brakes manufacturer Brembo, which supplies Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), Ferrari (NYSE:RACE), and other automakers, wants to expand one of its operations in the northern Mexican state of Nuevo Leon, government officials announced Thursday.
Since 2015, the firm has been operating in the Texas-bordering state of Nuevo Leon, where it employs 1,150 individuals at its Escobedo location, according to a statement from the governor's office.
According to a source familiar with the subject, Brembo now intends to increase the capacity of this facility, with a target opening date of the second quarter of 2023. The corporation also has a satellite facility in Apodaca, a neighboring city.
"What they are doing with brakes and new digital braking systems is remarkable," said Nuevo Leon Governor Samuel Garcia during an event with Brembo officials in Italy, during a trip during which he visited with executives from many auto firms and spoke with the Pope.
Brembo failed to reply promptly to a request for comment.
Elon Musk, the chief executive officer of Tesla, visited Nuevo Leon in October, and Reuters has been told by sources that the business is contemplating investing there.
Milenio, a Mexican news network, said this week that Tesla might reveal its intentions at the beginning of 2023. A request for comment was not met with a quick response from Tesla.
