Pesquería is a town located in the central part of the state of Nuevo León, at 25°47′ north latitude and 100°3′ west longitude, at an average altitude of 330 meters above sea level. It borders the so-called
Monterrey metropolitan area. The town has been attracted to South Korean immigrants largely by major international companies from that country and the quality of life it offers. In 2014, the South Korean multinational
Kia Motors, along with the Japanese company
Toyota, were in negotiations with the then governor of Nuevo León,
Rodrigo Medina, to boost the automotive industry in the state. However, unlike Toyota, due to a lack of agreements, Kia Motors opened its plant in July 2015. Another major South Korean automaker established there is
Hyundai Motor Company. According to the
Secretariat of Economy, Pesquería was the municipality that attracted the most foreign direct investment, even more than
Mexico City, between 2018 and 2020.
Culture Mu Kung Hwa (무궁화) Korean restaurant, located on the road to Santa Maria, is a frequent spot for local residents and Korean immigrants. ==See also==
