Magnekon Plant 2, a Viakable Subsidiary, earns Clean Industry Certification
- Only three companies in Nuevo León were awarded this recognition in the past year.
San Nicolás de los Garza, México – September 24, 2025.- Viakable, a Xignux company specializing in the production of electrical conductors, announced that its subsidiary Magnekon Plant 2 was awarded the Certificación de Industria Limpia (Clean Industry Certification) by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (Profepa), as part of México’s National Environmental Audit Program.
The certification is the result of a voluntary audit that evaluated the plant’s processes and operations to verify compliance with current environmental regulations. This recognition attests to the plant’s alignment with standards related to resource management, risk prevention, and continuous improvement in environmental performance.
According to Profepa, only three companies in Nuevo León earned this certification over the past year, including Viakable’s Magnekon Plant 2.
“This certification not only demonstrates strict compliance with current regulations but also reflects our strong commitment to embedding sustainability into every decision and process—strengthening an organizational culture dedicated to protecting the planet,”, said Carlos Ramos Espinosa, CEO of Viakable.
The Clean Industry Certification is granted to companies that demonstrate effective control of their environmental impact and compliance with the standards established under national law.
