San Nicolás de los Garza, México, June 4, 2026- Viakable, a XIGNUX company and trusted partner in energy transmission, has earned the Gold-level Active and Healthy Organization (OAS) certification awarded by Queremos Mexicanos Activos (QUEMA).

The certification, endorsed by the Mexican Institute for Standardization and Certification (IMNC), recognizes organizations committed to employee well-being, physical activity, and the development of healthier workplace environments.

The Gold level is the program’s highest distinction, recognizing that Viakable has fully integrated these practices into its corporate culture through a permanent wellness and physical fitness program.

“At Viakable, we continue to strengthen our commitment to the overall well-being of our employees, a key element in fostering a work environment that promotes health, balance, and quality of life,” said Patricio Murga, Human Resources Director at Viakable.

As part of the certification process, Viakable implemented initiatives including physical assessments, wellness challenges, workplace movement breaks, and recreational sports activities, all aligned with QUEMA’s certification model, which aims to encourage healthy lifestyles, reduce sedentary behavior, and enhance physical and emotional well-being.

This achievement comes at a significant moment for Viakable as the company celebrates its 70th anniversary and recently unveiled its new corporate identity. More than a visual transformation, the new identity reflects the company’s forward-looking vision and its commitment to evolving alongside its people.

The certification also complements other recognitions Viakable has earned as part of its commitment to employee and community well-being, including the Socially Responsible Company (ESR) distinction awarded by the Mexican Center for Philanthropy (CEMEFI), the Family-Responsible Company (EFR) certification granted by Fundación MásFamilia, and the Factor Wellbeing distinction, among others.

Through these efforts, Viakable reaffirms its commitment to the holistic development of its employees and to strengthening an organizational culture in which health, well-being, and the energy that drives people forward remain essential to its continued evolution.

Monterrey, Nuevo León, México, June 3, 2026 — Viakable, a XIGNUX company and a leading manufacturer and supplier of electrical conductors, today celebrated the 15th anniversary of its Technology and Research Center (CETIV), a facility dedicated to applied research, new product development, and the validation of advanced technologies.

Located within the Research and Innovation Technology Park (PIIT) in Apodaca, Nuevo León, CETIV spans 2,800 square meters and is home to a team of 35 Mexican scientists and technologists developing solutions that strengthen the competitiveness of the energy industry and support technological advancement in México.

With 28 granted patents and seven additional patent applications currently under review, CETIV serves as a cornerstone of Viakable’s applied research and innovation capabilities for the electrical cable industry, supporting transmission, distribution, industrial, and construction applications.

In 2025, Viakable invested MXN 22.5 million in the modernization of its laboratories and research facilities, incorporating specialized equipment for the analysis and development of advanced materials.

Additionally, between 2022 and 2024, the company invested approximately MXN 70 million in a specialized laboratory for mechanical and electrical testing of medium-, high-, and extra-high-voltage conductors in San Nicolás de los Garza, Nuevo León. The 2,800-square-meter facility further enhances the company’s research, development, and technology validation capabilities.

These facilities enable the simulation of real-world operating conditions and strengthen validation and certification processes for energy infrastructure applications.

Together, these investments position CETIV among the most significant research platforms in Latin America within the wire and cable industry.

Among the center’s most recent innovations are environmentally friendly compounds for low- and medium-voltage electrical cables, advanced coatings that improve electrical transmission performance, solutions that facilitate cable installation, and artificial intelligence applications focused on the design of specialized materials.

Viakable also promotes an open innovation model through collaboration with startups and research institutions to address challenges related to electrification, growing energy demand, data centers, and electric mobility.

This innovation ecosystem includes partnerships with institutions such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Autonomous University of Nuevo León (UANL), Tecnológico de Monterrey, and the National Autonomous University of México (UNAM).

“At Viakable, we recognize that applied innovation is essential to addressing the challenges facing today’s energy infrastructure. Through CETIV, we develop technological solutions that strengthen our competitiveness and reinforce our position as a trusted strategic partner for customers across México and North America,” said Carlos Ramos Espinosa, Chief Executive Officer of Viakable.

The Mexican gray wolf is an emblematic species that currently depends on conservation programs to ensure its survival.

The companies have also launched an awareness campaign among their employees, encouraging personal and voluntary donations as well. All funds raised are directed entirely toward supporting the conservation work carried out by the organization.

During April and May, university students had the opportunity to explore key topics such as digital transformation, marketing, leadership, and supply chain management, as well as learn about professional development opportunities within the company.

These activities are part of Qualtia’s strategy for engaging with young talent, with the goal of bringing industry closer to the academic world and sharing insights into the challenges and opportunities of today’s work environment.

The implementation of this technology will reduce the institution’s electricity costs, freeing up resources that can be directed toward strengthening the education of its students.

Beyond its social impact, the project also reduces the environmental footprint, with an estimated benefit equivalent to a reduction of 150 metric tons of CO₂ — underscoring the company’s commitment to sustainability and community well-being.

During the event, the company strengthened relationships with strategic suppliers, explored cutting-edge technologies, and held meetings focused on the development of future projects within the energy sector.

Over two days, participants strengthened a shared vision through talks and panel discussions, while also exchanging successful initiatives across the group’s companies, with a focus on efficiency, resource optimization, and value creation for Xignux and its businesses.

The summit concluded with a team-building session that reinforced collaboration across teams and contributed to consolidating cooperation to continue driving solutions that allow everyone to move forward together.

This new product format stands out for its convenience and accessibility, responding to consumer trends that favor products that can be enjoyed anytime. Initially, it will be available in its original flavor at supermarkets and convenience stores throughout the country.

With this addition to its portfolio, Qualtia aims to expand Peperami’s reach, create new consumption occasions, and continue strengthening the brand’s presence in the Mexican market.
