Bosch Mexico reported this Thursday that it will expand the capacity of its automotive technology plant in Querétaro.

According to a press release, the plan includes installing new high-tech production lines and a warehouse on around 12,000 square meters.

Its parent company, The Bosch Group, is a leading global provider of technology and services. It employs approximately 395,000 people worldwide (as of December 31, 2020) and generated sales of €71.5 billion in 2020.
