Grupo Safran, a leading French multinational in high technology specializing in defense, aerospace equipment, and security, honors us by entrusting Grupo TORUS with the construction of its new facilities in Querétaro, Mexico, as part of its expansion project. This large-scale project presents unique challenges in terms of formwork, requiring innovative solutions and specialized attention. Below, we share the details of how we address these challenges with a technical and cutting-edge approach.

What is formwork and what is it used for?

Formwork is a temporary structure used to shape concrete while it hardens. It acts as a mold that holds the concrete in place, allowing it to maintain the desired shape until it gains the necessary strength. In this project, the formwork presents unique challenges that require special attention and innovative solutions.

At GRUPO TORUS, 2025 will bring both challenges and opportunities, especially with Donald Trump returning to the White House. This shift in the U.S. political landscape will impact multiple sectors, and our company is no exception.

Our steel plant in Texas (AMSOL TX) It places us in a privileged position to take advantage of the U.S. market. However, this context also raises important questions about the future of our production in Mexico and our export plans from Querétaro. What will happen with our nearshoring strategy?

We remain committed to adapting to these changes and exploring every opportunity to strengthen our presence in both Mexico and the United States. We value your opinion and invite you to share your ideas and perspectives on this key topic for our growth.
