The expansion of UL Solutions’ laboratory in Queretaro adds testing capabilities for consumer technology, automotive, and wire and cable products, broadening testing services for exports to the United States, Canada and throughout Latin America, while meeting local market needs. This also resulted in the facility becoming a Volkswagen de Mexico partner laboratory.
“Mexico is a significant manufacturing hub, a key US trading partner and a dynamic Latin American economy,” said Todd Denison, senior vice president of Global Regions at UL Solutions. “Expanding our capabilities in Mexico strengthens our ability to offer customers the science-based services they need to meet safety and performance testing and certification requirements, whether for local or export markets.”
This state-of-the-art testing laboratory originally opened in May 2022. The facility was developed to help streamline the product certification process for importers and exporters in Mexico. Located in Querétaro, about 135 miles or approximately 220 kilometers northwest of Mexico City, the facility is in a thriving industrial region with a strong manufacturing base, skilled work force and significant automotive industry presence.
The facility is one of Mexico’s few multinational testing laboratories. The services offered support local businesses in bringing safer, compliant products to Mexico and throughout North and South America.
