The expansion of UL Solutions’ laboratory in Mexico adds testing
capabilities for consumer technology, automotive, and wire and
cable products, broadening testing services for exports to the
United States, Canada and throughout Latin America, while meeting
local market needs. This also resulted in the facility becoming a
Volkswagen de Mexico partner laboratory.
“Mexico is a significant manufacturing hub, a key U.S. trading
partner and a dynamic Latin American economy,” said Todd Denison,
senior vice president of Global Regions at UL Solutions. “Expanding
our capabilities in Mexico strengthens our ability to offer
customers the science-based services they need to meet safety and
performance testing and certification requirements, whether for
local or export markets.”
This state-of-the-art testing laboratory originally opened in
May 2022. The facility was developed to help streamline the product
certification process for importers and exporters in Mexico.
Located in Querétaro, about 135 miles or approximately 220
kilometers northwest of Mexico City, the facility is in a thriving
industrial region with a strong manufacturing base, skilled work
force and significant automotive industry presence.
The facility is one of Mexico’s few multinational testing
laboratories. The services offered support local businesses in
bringing safer, compliant products to Mexico and throughout North
and South America.
As a result of the expansion, the Querétaro facility has
achieved certification as an external laboratory partner by
Volkswagen de Mexico, for testing automotive components and
performance materials from its suppliers, according to the
automotive group’s standards.
Mexico is the world’s seventh-largest passenger vehicle
manufacturer, producing 3.5 million vehicles annually. Eighty-eight
percent of vehicles made in Mexico are exported, with 76% destined
for the U.S. Mexico is also the world’s fifth-largest manufacturer
of heavy-duty vehicles for cargo, hosting manufacturers and
assemblers of buses, trucks, tractor trucks and engines.1
“Mexico is one of the world’s most important automotive
markets,” said Rodolfo Flores, regional director of Latin America,
UL Solutions. “This is why we continue to invest in talent,
expertise and customized equipment to provide world-class testing
to the automotive industry and its suppliers. With our laboratory
certified as an external partner Volkswagen testing laboratory, we
have strengthened our collaboration with Volkswagen to have its
supplier products officially approved for its vehicles.”
