Mexico, known for its strong processing sectors in automotive and electronics, is attracting renewed attention from German businesses. With 14 free-trade agreements, Mexico is now strategically important for its robust infrastructure and open market status.
Recently, DEG extended a USD 20 million loan to CHG-MERIDIAN México, a technology leasing company linked to the CHG-MERIDIAN Group from Weingarten, Germany. This move aims to help clients secure technological equipment amid trade policy tensions and boost local competitiveness. CHG-MERIDIAN has been in collaboration with DEG since 2016, focusing on closing funding and technology gaps in Mexico, which will benefit both SMEs and German subsidiaries.
The firm is noted for its green initiatives, providing climate-neutral leasing solutions and actively participating in the circular economy. This includes refurbishing, remarketing, and recycling used IT equipment. DEG's long-term support aligns with its commitment to aiding German investments in emerging markets.
