en.Wedoany.com Reported - Switzerland plans to invest approximately $1.24 billion in Mexico in 2026, with a focus on the food, chemical, and manufacturing sectors.
This investment plan was announced during the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries, under the theme "80 Years of Building Trust and Innovating Together." During the event, business representatives reviewed the development of bilateral trade and investment relations.
Francisco Martínez, President of the Swiss Chamber of Commerce in Mexico (SwissCham México), stated during the meeting that Swiss companies adopt a long-term strategy for the Mexican market, reflected in production expansion and capital reinvestment. He noted that in 2025, Swiss investment in Mexico reached a record $2.3 billion, making Switzerland the sixth-largest foreign investor in the country. This long-term commitment is demonstrated through continuous reinvestment and the operation of 55 production plants nationwide.
New projects planned for 2026 will further expand the industrial footprint of Swiss companies across multiple regions in Mexico. According to data from the Swiss-Mexican Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Cámara Suizo Mexicana de Comercio e Industria), these investments will help strengthen supply chains, create professional jobs, and develop production capacities for both the domestic market and exports.
During the celebrations, senior executives from member companies of the chamber held high-level meetings with representatives of the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO). The SECO delegation, led by Hervé Lohr, Head of the Americas Division, and Marcel Brengard, North America Affairs Specialist, exchanged views on investment, competitiveness, and prospects for economic cooperation.
At a reception organized by Swiss Ambassador Pietro Piffaretti, entrepreneurs and government officials emphasized that Mexico serves as a key strategic platform for Swiss companies in global operations, particularly in manufacturing, exports, and technological development. The business community believes that bilateral relations are at one of their most dynamic stages, driven by foreign investment growth, industrial expansion, and cooperation in areas such as innovation, sustainable development, and economic development.
