For second consecutive
time Audi Mexico exceeded the production goal of the previous year, in 2018 the
total was of 173,550 Q5 units locally produced.
Audi Q5 is the first Premium automobile manufactured in Mexico and
establishes standards on its class.
“Audi Mexico has
successfully developed since its first production year until now. We value the work and dedication of our
collaborators and we will continue contributing to the international
competitiveness of Grupo Audi,” said Andreas Lehe, executive president of Audi
Mexico.
The plant in San Jose Chiapa
is one of the most modern in the American continent. During the first year of operations, the
plant reached a production level of 158,550 units and exceeded that figure in
2018 with 173,550 produced units.
Audi Mexico is one of
the most attractive employers in the country and actively participates in our
projects in the region. For example, the
Orquesta Audi Mexico, houses a total of 270 children and youngsters in the in
the choir and the orchestra
Audi Mexico tries to
optimize the life quality of its collaborators.
For example, the company has expanded its benefits to allow its
collaborators spend the first weeks and months after their child is born or
adopted with the family. In 2018, Audi
Mexico received the Award ESR® as socially responsible company.
In 2018, UNESCO in
Mexico and Audi Mexico, together with SEP and the Government of Puebla
organized the “International Forum in Dual Education and Corporate
Responsibility.” The Forum worked as
space to analyze, share ideas, proposals and good practices in Dual Education
and Corporate Responsibility environments.
Last year, Audi Mexico
confirmed its commitment with the environment, with the opening of an osmosis
plant. With this sustainable project,
Audi Mexico is the first plant free of wastewaters of the group.
Likewise, Audi Mexico
held the third Familientag, where operators’ families were able to know closely
their relative workplace. With
activities such as test track, wind simulator, knowing the robots that operate
in the bodywork industrial building, as well as the assembly industrial
building.
During the first
edition the Familientag, there were still 1,500 collaborators, Audi Mexico
employs today more than 5,200.
“I am pleased to see
the interest of families to know our ‘smart plant.’ The proud of our collaborators to show their
workplace, was noticeable. Here we build
together a Premium auto ‘Made in Mexico’ for the world market,” said Andreas
Zelzer, vice-president of human resources and organization.
