Silao in 2026 — capital of the Bajío automotive cluster
Silao de la Victoria is the municipal seat of the same-name municipality in Guanajuato and one of the central nodes of central Mexico's automotive cluster. Toyota Motor Manufacturing de Guanajuato (TMMGT) has been operating since 2019 with Tacoma pickup production, and the General Motors plant in Silao (Complejo Silao) manufactures engines, transmissions and components for Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac. Volkswagen runs components operations and heavy-vehicle plant along the corridor, and BMW operates production plant in San Luis Potosí 130 km away with Tier 1 and Tier 2 supply chain that runs from Silao.
The municipality concentrates more than 80 Tier 1 and Tier 2 supplier plants — from stamping and welding to plastic injection and electronic components — and the logistics operation flows through Puerto Interior, Mexico's largest logistics-industrial park with more than 1,300 hectares and connection to three railways (Kansas City Southern, Ferromex, Ferrosur) and to federal highway 45. Invoicing for the cluster operates predominantly in MXN with CFDI 4.0 (16% IVA) and IMMEX standing for export operations, with payment complement and Carta Porte 3.0 where applicable.
Assembly plants, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers
Assembly plants in Silao and its corridor — Toyota TMMGT, GM Complejo Silao, VW suppliers, Faurecia, Aptiv, Magna, Continental, Bosch, Lear, Brose, Yazaki — run permanent uniform programmes for plant staff, supervisor-grade polos, process-engineer-grade shirts, maintenance-technician-grade vests and operational identification sets (PVC cards, lanyards, badge holders) compliant with NOM-004-STPS and NOM-035-STPS. Invoicing operates under IMMEX programmes with export to the United States, Canada and the European Union, mainly under USMCA.
Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers operate strict production calendars with weekly or bi-weekly deliveries, depending on the OEM production schedule. For them we deliver operator-grade polos, certified-technician-grade shirts, line-supervisor-grade vests and corporate gifts for plant events (anniversary, Family Day, Open House, line inauguration, productivity award, year-end). Plant events move volumes of 500 to 5,000 pieces with rapid customisation and on-site delivery.
Puerto Interior and the logistics chain
Puerto Interior (formerly Puerto Seco de Silao) is the Bajío logistics hub with more than 1,300 hectares concentrating rail freight operations (Kansas City Southern, Ferromex, Ferrosur), dedicated road freight, fiscal warehousing, IMMEX precincts and 3PL logistics operators. The operation inside the park requires forklift-operator-grade uniforms, floor-supervisor-grade vests, operational identification sets and corporate gifts for operations events. Invoicing for Puerto Interior operates in MXN with CFDI 4.0, payment complement and Carta Porte 3.0 when transport applies.
Logistics operators — DHL Supply Chain, FedEx Logistics, Kuehne+Nagel, DB Schenker, XPO Logistics, Ryder, Penske — manage polos for operational staff, operator-grade safety vests for yard operators and corporate gifts for key clients. The supply chain for the automotive cluster operates on weekly and bi-weekly calendars, requiring base inventory at the workshop with constant rotation and rapid response to production schedules.
Technical training centres and educational operations
The Silao automotive cluster requires technical training centres for plant staff development. CECATI (Centro de Capacitación para el Trabajo Industrial), CONALEP Silao, Universidad de Guanajuato campus Silao and the Toyota, GM, VW and supplier training centres manage polos for instructors, workshop-master-grade shirts, dual-programme graduation gifts and corporate gifts for recruitment fairs (FORDEPORTE, Reclutamiento Bajío, automotive job fairs).
Dual programmes — line operator, maintenance technician, process engineer — graduate between 50 and 300 students per cohort, and graduation gift sets include embroidered polos, tactical backpacks, personalised tool kits and executive gifts. Invoicing for training centres operates in MXN with CFDI 4.0 and fiscal standing certificate for scholarship and training programmes. If your brief includes quantity, date and venue (plant, Puerto Interior, plant event, graduation, fair), we align and lock the production flow.

Bajío logistics and delivery
The logistics operation of Silao runs from the central workshop by direct road freight — approximately 350 km with 1-2 day delivery depending on calendar. The operational advantage is that Silao sits on federal highway 45, with direct connection to the Mexico-Ciudad Juárez highway, and dedicated road freight reaches plants, Puerto Interior and training centres in overnight operation when calendar permits.
Base inventory for Silao includes white and technical polos, industrial-operator-grade polos, safety vests, tactical backpacks and corporate gifts for plant events, all ready for customisation in 3 to 5 business days. Invoicing for IMMEX and export operations operates with CFDI 4.0, payment complement and Carta Porte 3.0 where transport applies. Dual MXN/USD invoicing under USMCA applies for suppliers with transnational corporate structure.
