Signify and the Government of Nuevo León signed a Memorandum of Understanding in November 2026 at the company's plant in Apodaca. The agreement aims to promote efficient, connected and circular lighting in areas such as infrastructure, innovation, value chains and rural development.
In addition, Signify plans an investment of approximately 2.7 million euros in 2027 to modernize its Apodaca plant, strengthen a safe and inclusive workplace, and advance digitalization and the development of new products.
Signify in Nuevo León
The Dutch company, formerly known as Philips Lighting, has more than 130 years of history, a presence in more than 70 countries and around 27,000 employees worldwide.
In Nuevo León it operates two plants and generates more than 2,000 jobs. Its operations manufacture luminaires and lighting solutions for the domestic and international markets.
What it means
The amount is for modernization, not for a new plant. What it shows is a company that already operates in the state and chooses to raise capabilities, adopt technology and move toward an industry that uses energy more efficiently. In his November column, Undersecretary Emmanuel Loo described it as "a sign of confidence."
