CALPULALPAN, TLAX.- Tlaxcala seeks to consolidate its position as one of Mexico’s emerging industrial hubs , supported by new investments, expansion of manufacturing companies and development of infrastructure linked to logistics and automotive , stated Javier Marroquín Calderón, head of the State Secretariat of Economic Development (Sedeco) .
The official noted that the state currently has industrial expansion projects totaling nearly $60 million, which are expected to create around 300 jobs in the region. He explained that some of these investments began in 2025 and are continuing to be finalized this year.
“The key is to continue working as a team between the private sector and the public sector,” he said.

“We must be grateful to the companies that continue to invest so much in the country and the state,” he stressed.
The official highlighted that Tlaxcala has sought to position itself as a competitive entity for industry through institutional support and direct attention to companies located in the state.
Part of this strategy, he said, also includes strengthening industrial parks and economic development projects promoted during the current state administration.
Marroquín asserted that Tlaxcala remains among the states with the greatest progress in the projects of the so-called well-being poles.
He added that the state seeks to continue strengthening its industrial capacity through specialized labor, training, and coordination between the state government, municipalities, and private companies.
“We need to continue generating well-being for workers and their families. That is the key to achieving good results,” he emphasized.
With these actions, Tlaxcala seeks to grow its economic activity.
