“The support we’ve seen in Matamoros has allowed us to bring in new production lines and retain projects that otherwise would have gone to another region,” Carlos González, a representative of Suprajit Mexico, said.

Suprajit Mexico is part of Suprajit Group, an India-based automotive supplier that produces components for major automakers worldwide.

The company manufactures control cables used in passenger vehicles and tractor-trailers that allow drivers and passengers to open doors, release hoods, adjust seats, and operate other basic mechanical functions.
