EOI Breaks Ground on New Plant in Mexico, Set to Begin Mass Production in 2026

On February 11 (local time), EOI held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new plant in the newly established industrial zone in Queretaro, Mexico. This marks a significant milestone in the company’s global supply chain strategy. The plant is expected to be completed by September this year and will begin mass production in 2026, further enhancing EOI's supply and service capabilities in Mexico, Central and South America, as well as European markets.

EOI President Fanny Huang shared that in response to the rapidly evolving global landscape, EOI remains agile in overcoming market challenges while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainable operations. We are also focused on strengthening its strategic alliances with leading global automotive lighting manufacturers. The new plant in Mexico has already secured several long-term contracts for LED automotive lighting modules, with agreements spanning six to seven years, and continues to expand its collaborations with clients.

Strategically located near numerous international automotive lighting manufacturers, the plant offers notable logistical advantages, helping to reduce inventory, transportation, and packaging costs, while also minimizing carbon emissions and enhancing supply chain efficiency. Importantly, the products from this plant will not be exported to the U.S. market, keeping them unaffected by the U.S. government's proposed 25% tariff on Mexican imports.

EOI Global Marketing Director Allan Kuo highlighted that approximately two million new vehicles in North America are equipped with EOI's LED automotive lighting modules each year. This year, the company plans to ship over 300 containers to the North American market from its overseas manufacturing bases. As the business continues to grow, the Mexico plant is expected to become EOI Group’s largest production base within five to seven years, generating around 800 jobs across management, engineering, manufacturing, and quality control sectors, thus contributing significantly to the local economy.

At the ceremony, Marco Antonio Del Prete Tercero, Secretary of Sustainable Development of Queretaro, and Carlos, Chairman of Frisa Construction Group, both underscored the importance of EOI's entry into the region. They pledged full support through a variety of assistance and incentive services to ensure the successful operation of the plant in the future. In addition, key executives from major international automotive lighting manufacturers attended the event, recognizing EOI’s establishment in Mexico as a strategic move to better serve clients, strengthen customer relationships, and position itself as a key global partner and a rising force in the industry.
