McAllen EDC drives new investment and job creation in Reynosa

The McAllen Economic Development Corporation (McAllen EDC) continues to position itself as a key driver of investment attraction, job creation, and economic development for Reynosa and the broader border region, by promoting industrial projects that strengthen binational economic integration.

According to Rafael Ángel Ortiz Salazar, McAllen EDC’s representative in Mexico, the organization is currently working on the expansion of an electronics manufacturing company already operating in Reynosa, which is planning the construction of a new facility. The project represents an estimated USD 30 million investment and could generate approximately 1,000 jobs within the year.

Ortiz also highlighted the continued growth of companies already established in the city, including Nidec Power Solutions, as well as growing interest from Asian companies evaluating Mexico—particularly Reynosa and the northern border—as a destination for new manufacturing investments.

“We are working very closely with these companies to ensure they remain in Reynosa and within our region,” Ortiz said.

Industrial pipeline and investment outlook

Regarding project timelines, Ortiz explained that several investment decisions are currently pending the review of the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA), a process that could allow key projects to move forward during the first half of next year.

Among the most advanced initiatives is a metalworking sector project that includes an investment of nearly USD 15 million, the construction of a 100,000-square-foot facility, and the creation of direct jobs. Additional projects remain in early-stage discussions and evaluation phases.

These efforts further reinforce Reynosa’s positioning as a strategic industrial hub along the northern border, supported by economic development organizations and strong binational coordination.
