NUEVO LEON, Mexico, Mar 13, 2026 – The Siemens Mitras manufacturing plant in Santa Catarina, Nuevo León, has earned the Platinum certification, the highest distinction granted by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system for sustainable buildings. The 18,700‑square‑meter complex, has become the first Siemens factory worldwide to obtain LEED Platinum, setting a new global benchmark for sustainable, energy‑efficient industrial facilities across the company’s manufacturing network. It also stands as the first industrial building in Mexico to achieve LEED Platinum for Building Design and Construction: New Construction under LEED version 4 (LEED v4).
Inaugurated in 2024 as part of Siemens’ strategy to strengthen and expand its production capabilities in northern Mexico, the premises are one of the company’s most advanced manufacturing facilities in the region. Here, the plant carries out plastic injection molding and manufactures low‑voltage electrical components—key elements used in circuit protection and electrification technologies that help build more efficient and resilient infrastructure around the world.
Siemens emphasized that achieving LEED Platinum demonstrates how industrial competitiveness and sustainability can advance together. Alejandro Preinfalk, President and CEO of Siemens Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, and Marco Cosío, Vice President of Smart Infrastructure for the region, highlighted that Mexico is a strategic hub for the company and that this milestone reflects how innovation, digitalization, and responsible operations are shaping the future of industries.
“Just as we support our customers accelerate their digital and sustainability transformation, we are driving our own transformation at speed and scale. Our LEED Platinum certification for our Mitras manufacturing plant is a blueprint for the future of sustainable manufacturing”, said Judith Wiese, Chief People and Sustainability Officer (CPSO) and Member of the Managing Board of Siemens. “Mexico is central to bringing this future to life: a strategic hub with highly skilled people enabling Siemens to deliver innovation at scale for our customers while advancing our commitment to a more sustainable, resilient world”.
The Mitras factory integrates a wide range of Siemens technologies for digitalization and sustainable infrastructure, including advanced automation systems, digital monitoring platforms and energy management solutions that optimize production processes, improve operational transparency and energy efficiency across the shopfloor.
By implementing these Siemens technologies and sustainable design principles, the site has reduced power consumption by approximately 40% compared to reference industrial buildings, generates around 800 MWh of renewable energy annually through on‑site solar production, and cuts CO₂ emissions by roughly 2,740 tons each year. The facility also incorporates energy-efficient building systems, advanced monitoring and smart infrastructure solutions, creating an integrated environment where digitalization and sustainability work together to optimize industrial performance.
LEED is the world’s most widely used green building certification system, applied in more than 180 countries to evaluate projects on criteria such as energy efficiency, water management, material sustainability, and overall environmental performance. Platinum is the highest rating within the system, reserved for projects that demonstrate exceptional results across these sustainability metrics.
Siemens Real Estate (SRE), which developed and executed the construction project from the outset, continues to set global benchmarks for sustainable construction and responsible site development. A long‑standing user of the LEED rating system, SRE has delivered more than 70 LEED‑certified projects totaling 1.2 million square meters worldwide, consistently driving high environmental standards and strengthening the long‑term sustainability of Siemens’ global real estate portfolio.
Mexico: A key hub in Siemens’ global strategy
With more than 130 years of presence in the country, Siemens has found in Mexico a strategic partner for its global growth. The Mitras project reinforces this long-term commitment: its production capacity serves markets across North America, its sustainable operating model inspires customers and industries across the region, and its adoption of advanced technologies positions Siemens Mexico as an innovation node within the company’s global manufacturing network.
This milestone also builds on other recent recognitions of Siemens’ manufacturing presence in the country. In November 2025, the company received the “Made in Mexico” certification from the Ministry of Economy, a distinction that highlights the quality, innovation, and national technological value of the products the organization manufactures in Mexico, further reinforcing its contribution to the development of the country’s industrial sector.
