ABB has completed an expansion of its Mexico Technology and Engineering Center (MXTEC) in the city of Merida, doubling the office space to help meet innovation and market growth potential in North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since opening two years ago, MXTEC has increased its workforce to 43 people, also broadening scope into trade, logistics and HSE, and now has ambitions to recruit up to 10 more in 2025. The increased investment in facilities reflects successes achieved in servicing process industries including mining in Canada, USA, Mexico and parts of the Caribbean. MXTEC has also added a cybersecurity lead and quality manager for the Americas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud to report that the team dynamic in our Mexico Technology and Engineering Center is very strong and that we\u2019ve had 100 percent employee retention to date,\u201d said Jan Majersky, operations manager for Mexico, ABB Process Industries. \u201cWe know the quality of the projects these colleagues have been embedded into and they are showing high levels of care and collaboration for customers \u2013 it\u2019s highly rewarding for all. Now that we\u2019ve expanded the facilities, we believe we have an even better environment for growth and innovation with our technologies and engineering capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Ambitions for the year ahead are to grow distributed control system (DCS) and quality control system (QCS) capabilities, supporting customers with combined automation, electrification and digitalization projects, including use of ABB\u2019s latest controllers and components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By evolving the technical skills of its people and developing lead engineers at MXTEC, ABB said it aims to go some way to filling known generational skills gaps in the industries it serves and provide attractive career paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The center has connections with ABB\u2019s other operations centers around the world, including in India and Czechia, and also works with Mexican universities. The first cohort of employees received comprehensive training at ABB\u2019s Czech Operations Center in Ostrava and are now training their peers at MXTEC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
