在与会嘉宾的共同见证下，韩坤与合作伙伴一同完成了祈福与动土仪式，标志着中鼎墨西哥工厂进入实质建设阶段。该工厂总建设面积约6万平方米，其中首期建设面积3.7万平方米，预计2026年底竣工，2027年第一季度正式投入运营。

Amidst the collective witness of attending guests, Han Kun, together with partners, completed the blessing and groundbreaking ceremony, marking the official commencement of substantial construction of Zhongding's Mexico factory. The total construction area of the facility is 60,000 square meters, with the first phase covering 37,000 square meters. The project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026 and is expected to commence operations in the first quarter of 2027.

基于中鼎旗下TRISTONE已在墨西哥齐瓦瓦、德利西亚斯建立的产能基础，克雷塔罗新工厂将进一步强化中鼎在美洲的制造与服务网络。在全球汽车产业链加速区域化重构的背景下，该工厂的建设意味着中鼎正主动响应“近岸供应”趋势，通过产能前移，提升对美洲核心客户的本地化响应速度与供应链韧性，有效应对贸易与环境的不确定性。

Building on the production capacity established by Zhongding's subsidiary TRISTONE in Chihuahua and Delicias, Mexico, the new Querétaro factory will further enhance Zhongding's manufacturing and service network throughout the Americas. Amidst the accelerating regional restructuring of the global automotive industry chain, the construction of this plant demonstrates Zhongding's proactive embrace of the "nearshoring" trend. By advancing production capacity closer to its key markets, the company seeks to improve its localized response speed and supply chain resilience for core clients in the Americas, thereby effectively navigating uncertainties arising from trade and environmental factors.

未来，中鼎将以墨西哥工厂为支点，整合技术与供应链资源，为客户提供更加敏捷、可靠的价值服务，携手中国汽车产业链企业以更成熟、更系统的姿态，共同参与塑造全球汽车产业新格局。

Moving forward, Zhongding will utilize its Mexico plant as a strategic hub to integrate technology and supply chain resources, delivering more agile and reliable value-added services to customers. In collaboration with other Chinese automotive industry chain partners, Zhongding will contribute to shaping the new global automotive landscape with greater maturity and a more systematic approach.
