2011 Ford Fiesta starts production in Mexico

Ford expanded the Cuautitlan plant by 25,800 square meters, building in five new lines of high-productivity presses, 270 robots and in-line measuring systems, adjustable ergonomic platforms in the upholstery area and new paint facilities that are more efficient and environmentally friendly.

“All the major subassemblies of the body and final assembly will be completed in the plant,” said Eduardo Villegas, General Manager of CSAP. “This helps ensure a quality build and even greater productivity.”

The Cuautitlan plant has produced more than 2.2 million vehicles during its 45-year history, including some iconic products. These include the Ford Mustang, LTD, Crown Victoria, Thunderbird, Taurus, Contour, Mercury Grand Marquis, Contour, Mystique and a variety of light- and medium-duty F-Series trucks.

Fiesta production at the site has created 2,000 direct jobs and at least 6,000 indirect jobs
