Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC (Bendix) inaugurated a new production plant at its Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila operation, marking a milestone in the forefront of technological manufacturing, according to a company press release.
The plant covers 17,187 square meters (m²) and will employ highly automated processes to produce two next-generation emerging technologies, namely Global Scalable Brake Control (GSBC) and Global Scalable Air Treatment (GSAT).

It is the result of years of continuous effort to elevate our operational capabilities, maintaining the quality and reliability that characterize Bendix products.”
The new plant represents an achievement for Bendix and is a milestone in Knorr-Bremse’s BOOST 2026 program, Bendix’s parent company. This global program drives sustainable growth and innovation in automotive technology, according to the press release.
Additionally, this plant has enabled the hiring of approximately 200 employees, strengthening Ciudad Acuña’s workforce, which will rise to nearly two thousand people.
