Baja California is home to more aerospace companies than any other Mexican state, according to a report in today’s El Financiero.

Honeywell, Delphi, Gulfstreat, Eaton, and GKN are among the major aerospace companies with facilities in Baja.  These companies develop and manufacture electronic control systems, fuselage components, radiators, turbines, compressors, and cables, and other aircraft components.

The undersecretary of economic development of Mexico’s Ministry of Economic Development (Secretaria de Desarrollo Economico - SEDECO), who was quoted in the report, said that Baja’s aerospace industry generated 27,000 jobs in 2007.  He added that Honeywell had recently established a Technology Research and Development Center in Baja.
