 Cessna Aircraft Company dedicated this week its fourth production plant in Chihuahua City under a $67 million investment to build on its successes over the last four years here, with production of the first carbon-fiber fuselages in Mexico already under way.
The new operation is expected to create up to 600 new jobs and adds to production capacity the company has in its three other plants in the city.
Cessna and State government officials said the new Cessna plant will make wire harnesses and metallic structural subassemblies.
The new plant is located at Parque Industrial Chihuahua.
Cessna's three other plants in Chihuahua City, two of which opened last year, manufacture wiring systems, metallic components and parts and carbon-fiber fuselages.
Cessna's Mark Withrow and Jim Mercer attended the opening ceremony, as well as Chihuahua State governor José Reyes Baeza Terrazas and Jaime Creel Sisniega, chairman of Intermex, an industrial real estate company.
