Sahagun City (in Spanish Ciudad Sahagún), officially called Fray Bernardino de Sahagún; is a little town localized in the municipality of Tepeapulco, within the State of Hidalgo, in Mexico. At its creation it was an important industrial center, but various economic problems have brought Sahagun a point of bankruptcy.
In the early 1950s, by order of President Miguel Aleman Valdes, settled on land in the municipality of Tepeapulco, Hidalgo, to 95 kilometers north of Mexico City, what was intended as a national model: the industrial area of Sahagun City.
On July 28, 1951 "Diesel Nacional" (National Diesel, DINA) was created, with a license agreement and technical advice from the Italian company Fiat. The share capital amounted to 75 million of pesos, of which 78 percent were state participation.
In 1952 he began building the first ship of the National Builder Railway Car (Concarril). At the same time sought to resolve the crisis in the textile and in 1954 formed the National Textile Machinery Factory "Toyoda of Mexico," which later became National Steel (Sidena), which established the three core businesses anchor factory in Sahagún City.
In parallel, constructed a popular housing group of 1317 houses and 46 apartments, more shops, market, sports fields, administrative offices and basic medical and educational services; as well as introduction of services such as paving, drainage, drinking water, electricity. In 1961 he joined 515 houses built by the IMSS.
In 1971 Sahagún City was incorporated into the municipality of Tepeapulco.
After the arrival of different plants, several economic situations (like the arrival of foreign brands into Mexico) forced the Renault plant to close its doors in 1986, losing 7000 jobs.
As Sidena, in state hands, began to have liquidity problems due to the looting of their coffers into the hands of managers, according to a study by the state government. In the late 1980s, Concarril, was taken over by Bombardier, Canadian equity firm and its transformation brought less paternalistic policies affecting unionized workers, who until then enjoyed privileges such as exemption from property taxes and utilities, absorbing the company.
By 1993, National Steel filed for bankruptcy technique due to liquidity problems. Dina, meanwhile, closed in January 2002 the top floor (DINA-Trucks); before was separated from DINA-Buses, acquired by Motor Coach Industries (MCI).
