To this end, among the company's plans is the strengthening of links with universities to attract new talent through the development of career plans that prepare students for the manufacturing environment.

In this sense, the Guadalajara site is one of the most important, since it has the Regional Automation Center, in which young people are given the opportunity to create ideas for the industry and make them come true.

Jabil's facilities in Guadalajara are among the three most important for the firm, surpassed only by two plants in China.

According to members of the firm, the decision to invest in Mexico responds to the reconfiguration of value chains that is taking place worldwide and that places our country as an increasingly attractive destination for nearshoring.

This is due to the fact that Mexico has a geographical location that allows it to be reached by the Atlantic and the Pacific, in addition, it has access to the United States and Central America by land.

With nearly 100 sites spread across 30 countries, Jabil seeks to be a more technologically advanced and reliable provider of manufacturing solutions.
