How Manufacturing Works in Querétaro
Querétaro is the undisputed aerospace capital of Mexico. The manufacturing ecosystem here is built entirely around high-precision, high-mix/low-volume production, rather than the mass assembly seen on the border.
Foreign direct investment is heavy from French and Canadian aerospace primes, supporting a deep bench of NADCAP and AS9100 certified contract manufacturers. Labor turnover is lower here than on the border, but skilled technician salaries command a premium.
The state operates as a Triple Helix model, where industry, government, and universities (like UNAQ) collaborate directly on workforce training.
