In this way, said the state president, Coahuila maintains a steady pace with the announcement of new investments or expansions of companies already installed in the state, and with this, the generation of thousands of formal jobs in favor of Coahuila's families.

He emphasized that these figures reflect that Coahuila is positioned as an ideal destination for investment, and a clear example of this is the arrival of European, Asian and U.S. companies. "Coahuila is an attractive and safe state for foreign and national investments due to its skilled labor force, political, labor and economic stability, the rule of law, good geographic location and, above all, the security that exists in its five regions," said Riquelme Solís.

The Governor explained that during the last few weeks, for example, the Korean company HL Mando announced the expansion of its operations, a project in which they will invest 185.3 million dollars and generate 1,980 new jobs in the Southeast Region.

Likewise, the North Pilgrims Project was announced, based in Cuatro Cienegas, with an investment of 12 million dollars and the creation of 140 direct jobs and more than 300 indirect jobs. "Also, during the month of May, with an investment of 350 million dollars and the generation of 1,200 new jobs, we announced the arrival in Coahuila of the company Xusheng, in Saltillo", explained the official, who added that the company Lennox, specialized in electric air conditioning and heating, laid the first stone of what will be its Commercial Area, a project in which they will invest 122.5 million dollars, with 700 new sources of employment.
