Celebrating 200 Years of Swiss-Mexican Partnership – An MTDCNC Conversation with Ambassador Pietro Piffaretti

In the world of manufacturing, we often talk about precision, process, and productivity — but sometimes, we’re reminded that what truly drives progress is partnership.

Recently, MTDCNC had the distinct honour of sitting down with His Excellency Pietro Piffaretti, the Swiss Ambassador to Mexico, to mark a powerful milestone: 200 years of Swiss-Mexican friendship.

Filmed on a cloudy but momentous afternoon in Mexico, this wasn’t just an interview — it was a conversation that transcended business and touched the very core of what global cooperation looks like when it’s built on trust, diplomacy, and shared values.

Ambassador Piffaretti spoke with the poise and warmth of someone who truly understands the long arc of international collaboration. His reflections reminded us why alliances are more than economic agreements — they are bridges between people, cultures, and futures.

This opportunity was made possible through the support and quiet leadership of Rubén Araiza, Director of REGO-FIX LATAM. Rubén saw the vision behind this story and opened the doors — literally and figuratively — so we could capture a moment of true historical and human significance.

“This wasn’t just a video shoot,” said MTDCNC’s Tony Gunn. “It was one of those rare days where manufacturing, diplomacy, and humanity all come together in a single conversation. It’s one I’ll never forget.”

At MTDCNC, we’ve travelled the world to tell stories of engineering excellence — but this moment reminded us that great manufacturing is also built on relationships that span decades, continents, and generations.

To Ambassador Piffaretti, to Rubén Araiza, and to the team at REGO-FIX LATAM: merci, gracias, and thank you. Here’s to the next 200 years of Swiss-Mexican collaboration, innovation, and friendship.
