🇲🇽 Transformer Industry — Mexico
Mexico operates a 60 Hz grid under CFE (Comisión Federal de Electricidad), with strong demand from industrial parks, manufacturing (near-shoring) and renewables. Its OEM and component base serves both the domestic grid and export, and CFE is a large, steady transformer buyer.
