What COPARMEX CHIHUAHUA does

COPARMEX Chihuahua (Centro Empresarial de Chihuahua) is a private employers' confederation founded on February 28, 1936 as the fifth Centro Empresarial in Mexico. It operates as a nonprofit business association and member of the COPARMEX Nacional network, headquartered at Av. Cuauhtémoc 1800 in Chihuahua city, Mexico, with a current staff of 15 and a membership of 318-400+ affiliated companies spanning automotive, retail, industrial, technology, energy, construction, financial services, education, and hospitality. The organization delivers a consolidated service bundle through seven core areas: member support and networking, legal advisory, accounting and tax support, training, employment promotion, graphic design, and institutional communication. Its employment promotion service operates a job board with more than 40,000 subscribers and runs annual employment fairs that connected over 150 job seekers in the 2025 edition.

The organization is funded primarily through recurring membership dues, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Services are delivered directly at the Centro Empresarial headquarters, supplemented by virtual training delivered via Zoom and an informational website. It runs sub-brands including Chihuahua Green City, a sustainability and circular economy initiative, and the Modelo de Desarrollo Inclusivo framework. Notable partnerships include a five-year academic alliance with Tecnológico de Monterrey Campus Chihuahua, the México Consciente initiative with TRIBU and CFOSC, and strategic coordination with FECHAC, CCE Chihuahua, USEM Chihuahua, FICOSEC, and the European Union Delegation in Mexico.

Leadership is provided by President Jorge Adolfo Treviño Portilla, who took office in February 2025 for the 2025-2026 term. The association reported in July 2026 that 9 of 10 member companies were affected by energy blackouts, with 84 percent reporting economic losses, positioning the organization as an active policy advocate for business conditions in Chihuahua. As a nonprofit, it does not raise external capital, is governed by a Consejo Directivo representing member companies, and reports no publicly traded shares or external shareholders.
