The aviation provider will seek to get closer to its customers in North America.

Diehl Aviation announces the establishment of a new location in Mexico: Diehl Aviation de México, the newest subsidiary of Diehl Aviation, will be located in an industrial park near the capital Querétaro, in the federal state of the same name.

The new location is intended to further strengthen cooperation with important customers such as Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Embraer and major local airlines. America is an important growth market for Diehl. Being closer to its customers enables shorter travel and transport routes and more effective collaboration.

This increased responsiveness and local presence will seek to improve Diehl Aviation's competitiveness in the market. In addition to the economic potential, the location in Mexico allows for more cost-effective production, reduces product costs and creates a local supply chain. In addition, Diehl gains access to more qualified employees.

Querétaro is centrally located, has good infrastructure and is close to Querétaro International Airport. It is also an important industrial center, focusing on automobile manufacturing and the aerospace industry, and represents well-known companies such as Bombardier, Airbus, Safran and Delta Airlines.

The site will initially have 8,000 square meters of production and office space and will employ around 30 people. In the medium term, Diehl will employ around 500 employees at the new location in Querétaro.

Production is scheduled to begin in mid-2025. Spacious overhead bins for Airbus A220 aircraft will be the first product. Aircraft of this type will be assembled in Mirabel, Quebec, Canada and Mobile, Alabama, USA.
