The construction sector continues to attract investment in El Salvador. This thursday, Saltex’s first robotic plant, located in La Libertad Costa, was inaugurated. This project, developed by Grupo ECON, represents an investment of nearly US$20 million and aims to strengthen the industry’s production capacity through the incorporation of state-of-the-art technology.
The new plant features automated machinery and processes from France and Germany, which will optimize production, improve operational efficiency, and meet the growing demand for materials driven by the expansion of the construction sector.
Luis Rodríguez, executive director of the Consejo de Alcaldes y Oficina de Planificación del Área Metropolitana de San Salvador (COAMSS/OPAMSS), emphasized that these types of investments reflect the private sector’s confidence in the country’s economic dynamism and in the growth the construction industry is experiencing.
According to the official, the construction sector is projected to grow by more than 13% in 2026 compared to the boom observed in 2025. This performance has motivated companies to invest in technology, logistics, and production capacity to meet market demands.
Rodríguez noted that the incorporation of robotic processes will allow the industry to be more competitive, increase its productivity, and offer a greater capacity to respond to infrastructure and real estate development projects underway in the country.
He also emphasized that maintaining the pace of construction growth requires close coordination between the public and private sectors to facilitate investment and create favorable conditions for economic development.
The inauguration of this plant adds to the investments that various companies have made in recent years to modernize their operations, incorporate technological innovation, and strengthen an industry that continues to consolidate itself as one of the engines of economic growth and job creation in El Salvador.
