The Mexican Association of Machinery Distributors (AMDM) and the Mexican Association of Industrial Finishing (AMAS) signed a collaboration agreement to strengthen cooperation between both institutions and consolidate comprehensive models of industrial transformation. This agreement aims to expand the market for the metalworking and industrial coatings industry, integrating processes, fostering innovation, and strengthening the supply chain with cutting-edge technology.
During the signing of the agreement, Manuel García Garza, president of AMAS, emphasized the importance of promoting education, collaboration between the private sector, and technological development. "More than an agreement, we want this cooperation to become a philosophy and a way of doing business in the long term," he stated.
For his part, Roberto González Dávila, president of AMDM, highlighted the key role of trade associations in the consolidation of the industry. "Our work is to strengthen the supply chain and increase the sector's competitiveness through sourcing and the adoption of advanced technology," he explained.
According to a study by Mordor Intelligence, the paint and coatings sector is undergoing an accelerated transformation, and its value is expected to increase from $185.7 billion in 2025 to $223.4 billion in 2030, with a projected growth of 20 percent over the next five years. The industry is advancing in sustainability, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence, optimizing efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
Ruth Joanna Rodríguez Virueña, general director of AMAS, underscored the importance of this alliance to consolidate a reliable supply network in sectors such as aerospace, maritime, automotive, household appliances, jewelry, and machinery. "It is time to strengthen synergies that ensure a more sustainable, innovative, and efficient industry," she concluded.
The event also featured Carlos Alberto Serna, Deputy Secretary of Economic Promotion and Innovation of the Ministry of Economy of Nuevo León, as a witness to the agreement. Finally, Ana Vigil Osorio, general director of AMDM, noted that the association represents 60 percent of machinery imports in Mexico and more than 20,000 jobs in the country.
