MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - France's Safran (PA:SAF), the world's third-largest aerospace supplier, has began building a new factory in the northern Mexican border state of Chihuahua, Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said on Saturday.
Ebrard said on Twitter that he was informed on July 1 that Safran "begins construction of a plant in Chihuahua to manufacture the interiors of Boeing (NYSE:BA) passenger planes, employing more than 800 people!"
Safran, which has two plants in the Mexican industrial city of Queretaro, did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Safran in May announced it had laid off 3,000 employees in Mexico amid an unprecedented crisis in the aerospace industry stemming from the coronavirus pandemic.
