SearchPresident Claudia Sheinbaum and the AMPIP unveiled 20 operational complexes across eight states totaling 4.6 million square meters. The announcement brings the total number of parks delivered under Plan México to 40 and projects the creation of more than 32,000 jobs.
On October 22, 2026, President Claudia Sheinbaum announced during her morning conference the launch of 20 new industrial parks. The project, presented alongside the Mexican Association of Private Industrial Parks (AMPIP), represents an investment of $763 million and aims to consolidate private sector confidence in the country’s regional development.
According to data provided by the president, these complexes cover a total area of 4.6 million square meters and can host 175 companies. The infrastructure is expected to generate 32,127 direct jobs. The geographic distribution of these parks focuses on three strategic axes:
The Undersecretary for Industry and Commerce, Ximena Escobedo Juárez, detailed that the developments are spread across 17 municipalities in 8 federal entities. The productive focus of these spaces includes food manufacturing, medical devices, electronics, as well as distribution centers and e‑commerce operations.
This announcement marks a milestone in the government strategy known as Plan México. With the delivery of these 20 complexes, the total number of industrial parks presented under this program rises to 40. Sheinbaum noted that, entering the third year of her administration, the 40% of the six‑year goal to create 100 industrial parks has been achieved.
David O’Donnell, president of AMPIP’s Board of Directors, highlighted that the 20 announced parks are already operational. According to O’Donnell, these complexes are strengthening supply chains and creating growth opportunities in regions that have historically had less industrial infrastructure.
The business leader noted that AMPIP brings together 143 members across 28 states, with a total of 493 industrial parks where about 4,000 companies operate, employing 3.8 million people. Additionally, O’Donnell revealed that the organization’s members plan to invest $4.6 billion in industrial infrastructure during 2026.
The announcement comes amid commercial uncertainty and a review of the US‑Mexico‑Canada Agreement (USMCA). O’Donnell stated that Mexico competes daily to attract capital in an environment where companies seek supply chains closer and more resilient to disruptions. The country’s geographic location and its manufacturing integration with the United States and Canada are key factors for attracting sectors such as auto parts, electronics, medical devices, and aerospace.
