LS Cable and System is investing $156 million in its manufacturing subsidiary in Querétaro, Mexico. The company says the funding will expand LSCMX production capacity and strengthen an integrated manufacturing and supply-chain platform across North America.
LS Cable and System says the investment will turn LSCMX into an “energy and mobility manufacturing base” serving the Americas. The company plans to expand existing busduct production capacity, citing demand tied to AI data centers and large-scale power infrastructure, and it plans to build new automotive cable production lines supporting internal combustion and electric vehicle platforms.
“By expanding production capabilities in Mexico and aligning them closely with U.S. operations, LS C&S is building a more resilient, responsive, and competitive supply chain to support growing demand across energy infrastructure, data centers, and automotive markets, while reinforcing its long-term commitment to customers and partners throughout the region,” said Gisu Kim, Regional President of North America, LS Cable and System.
LS Cable and System positioned the Mexico investment as part of a broader North America buildout. It reports that in April 2025 it broke ground on LS GreenLink Phase 1 in Chesapeake, Virginia, a $681 million project including a 750,000-square-foot cable manufacturing facility, a 660-foot Vertical Continuous Vulcanization (VCV) tower, and a dedicated pier to support high-voltage direct current (HVDC) submarine power-cable production, with more than 330 jobs planned.
LS Cable and System also reports that in December 2025 it announced an additional Chesapeake investment expected to create approximately 430 jobs and expand manufacturing in copper recycling, magnet-wire manufacturing, and rare-earth magnet production. The company adds that in January 2026 it announced a logistics center in La Porte, Texas to support its busduct and busway business across North America.
