Diehl Aviation has officially moved into its newly completed facility in Querétaro, Mexico, marking a significant step in its expansion across the Americas. The move, completed on schedule in March 2025, signals the start of the production ramp-up phase and the on-site preparation of workforce and operations, with the formal opening of the site planned for autumn 2025.
The state-of-the-art facility in Querétaro, spanning 8,000 m², is designed to enhance Diehl Aviation's production capacity and operational efficiency. Located in a strategic aerospace hub, the site will support major final assembly lines in Brazil, Canada and the United States, improving regional collaboration, reducing lead times and enabling more responsive customer service. Initially employing around 30 staff, the site is expected to grow to approximately 500 employees over the medium term.
Jörg Schuler, CEO of Diehl Aviation commented: “Querétaro's strategic location and strong infrastructure make it an ideal base to support our global and regional customers. This investment strengthens our long-term growth and commitment to the aerospace market in North and Latin America.”
Diehl Aviation is actively developing the necessary production capabilities and training a skilled workforce to meet the aviation sector's highest safety and quality standards. This foundation is vital for the seamless transfer of work packages and long-term operational success. The new facility represents a significant investment—reported in the double-digit million-euro range—and forms part of the company's broader strategy to reinforce its presence in key growth markets.
Proximity to major customers such as Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and Embraer further strengthens the site's strategic value. Additionally, the Querétaro facility is set to generate hundreds of local jobs and contribute to the sustainable growth of the regional aerospace supply chain, firmly establishing Diehl Aviation within Querétaro's thriving aerospace ecosystem.
