Cintermex Monterrey 2026: the northern border convention centre where the IMMEX supplier presents the new manufacturing line and the USMCA compliance kit crosses the stand with the plant director's signature

Cintermex Monterrey 2026 is the most important convention and exhibition centre in northern Mexico on Avenida Fundadores, in the centre of Monterrey, Nuevo León. Capacity for 8,000 attendees across three main pavilions, a 4,200-seat convention hall for keynote conferences, 12 workshop rooms for the automotive cluster's technical sessions, 600 stands for the IMMEX supplier expo, a manoeuvring yard with direct rail access to the KCSM line for oversized loads, a 10-tonne freight elevator for machinery, a business centre with international telephony, a press room for reporters from El Norte, Milenio Monterrey and Reforma, and a back-of-house with refrigeration chamber for temperature-sensitive merch.
