US$230 million will be invested in the first plant to manufacture residential air conditioning and an annual production of 2.7 million units is contemplated. While the second will have the capacity to produce 4,500 commercial coolers, with an investment of US$50 million.

The two new plants will start operations in April 2024 and by that year Daikin Manufacturing Mexico will have approximately 4,000 jobs.

Daikin began manufacturing air conditioning units 12 years ago in San Luis Potosí, which is why it considers this entity the best location to accelerate future growth throughout the Americas.
