Volkswagen Mexico is the biggest employer in the Mexican town of Puebla, 100 km south of Mexico City. VW opened its plant there in 1964, and has since invested billions in its expansion. With many German component suppliers also setting up shop nearby, Puebla has become a car town with a large German presence. Since 1997 parts maker Brose has been producing car doors, handles and more in the town.A report by Alexa Meyer and Patrick Benning
