Matamoros, Tamaulipas — Global auto parts manufacturer Inteva Products is investing $8.8 million (150 million pesos) to expand its operations in Matamoros. The expansion will create 500 direct jobs and further establish the city’s importance in the international automotive supply chain.

The announcement was made at an event attended by business and government leaders, including Tamaulipas Secretary of Economic Development Ninfa Cantú Deándar, Matamoros Mayor Alberto Granados, National Auto Parts Industry (INA) President Francisco González Díaz, and Inteva’s Director of Operations, Armando Botti.

Officials highlighted the investment’s potential to boost the local economy, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between the public and private sectors. Secretary Cantú Deándar noted that the project reflects Inteva’s commitment to the region and points to the state’s ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure, security, and investor confidence.

Mayor Granados described the expansion as a sign of the city’s economic strength and a positive result of government-industry cooperation. Inteva’s growing presence in Matamoros supports broader efforts to strengthen Tamaulipas’ automotive industry, a vital contributor to the state's economy.

The company, which produces vehicle interior systems, door modules, roof systems, and electronics, has operated in Matamoros since 2008. Its global footprint spans the Americas, Europe, and Asia. According to Botti, the expansion will help consolidate Inteva’s role as a global supplier and deepen its connection to the Matamoros community.

INA President González Díaz emphasized northern Mexico’s increasing importance in the auto parts sector, calling Matamoros a prime example of regional industrial growth.

The state government is also advancing plans to develop an automotive cluster in Tamaulipas to connect businesses, educational institutions, and public agencies in a coordinated push for innovation, supply chain integration, and competitiveness.

Inteva’s investment supports this broader vision and marks a significant step toward long-term industrial growth and job creation in the region. With its favorable location, skilled labor force, and expanding industrial capacity, Matamoros is emerging as a key player in Mexico’s manufacturing future.
