Puebla Convention Center: the expo where the Tier 1 supplier signs the contract with the VW plant in Cuautlancingo before coffee and the exhibitor kit crosses the Puebla customs with IMMEX pedimento

Puebla Convention Center is the fair hall with 15,000 m² of industrial floor, customs-sealed access for parts imported under IMMEX, heavy-duty freight elevators and a maneuvering yard for trailers that connect with the Volkswagen de México plant in Cuautlancingo and the Tier 1 suppliers of the central-eastern region. Automotive expos run here, where VW, Audi and Seat suppliers present their component lines, electro-mobility fairs of the Puebla-Tlaxcala industrial corridor, CANACINTRA Puebla and Regional Automotive Cluster congresses, B2B meetings with U.S. and German buyers, and ProMéxico missions with the German industry. What defines Puebla Convention Center is the industrial-corridor rhythm: merch crosses the border with Carta Porte 3.0 and SAT invoicing coexists with complementary EUR invoicing.
