The Eastek International company started up its first plant in Mexico in Fresnillo, Zacatecas, in the complex that the Entrada Group occupies, in El Mineral, due to the commercial relationship established at the beginning of this year between both consortiums; the firm has facilities in the United States, Malaysia and China.
As a representative of Governor Alejandro Tello, Carlos Bárcena Pous, Secretary of the Economy, highlighted that the establishment of Eastek International generates trust and is a clear example of the interest that exists to invest in the state.
In the entity, he stated, they have opted for the health care of people, during this pandemic, which is why they focused on supporting MSMEs, with protocols and health kits so that economic activity did not stop.
Thanks to this, Zacatecas is the third state that has acted in the best way to overcome the loss of nearly 7,000 jobs since the start of the pandemic, so in April it already had a positive balance.
With the green color on the epidemiological traffic light, the arrival of Eastek International, the reopening and increased activities, the recovery is expected to be “more vigorous”.
Bárcena Pous stressed that in Zacatecas there are qualified operational personnel, so that collaborators, managers, suppliers and partners will give quality in the final products (electronic devices for the best performance in automobiles, thermometers, electronic cards and regulators, among other devices).
He indicated that this action will have a positive impact on the economy, in the medium and long term, both in the municipality of Fresnillo and at the state level, since, initially, 50 jobs are offered.
The Eastek International plant required an investment of 1.5 million dollars in its first stage and by 2022, it will exercise another 3 million, which will achieve a projection of 500 jobs.
