Expanded
presence
in Mexico
ADDISONMCKEE has announced
that it will relocate Eaton Leonard’s
operations in Queretaro, Mexico, to
a new manufacturing and distribution
facility nearby, with nearly 24,000ft2.
The building will provide a substantial
increase in space over the company’s
current location of 5,000ft2.
AddisonMckee and Eaton Leonard
currently employ approximately 300
associates around the world, and
the upcoming expansion will, in time,
increase the companies’ workforce in
Mexico.
The larger space will not only allow
increased production capacity and
efficiency of the end-forming product
line, but will also provide the opportunity
to stock consumable tooling and
machine spare parts locally for the
Mexican market.
“Mexico is a vital region for
AddisonMckee/Eaton Leonard and
currently accounts for 10 per cent of
North American sales,” commented Jim
Sabine, president of AddisonMckee.
“Our customers’ needs are constantly
evolving and it is important that we
grow with them. They have requested
local manufacturing and technical
support and we are delivering on our
commitment to manufacture and stock
consumables and spare parts locally,
thus reducing logistics costs and time
in transit. Expanding our service and
manufacturing capabilities within closer
proximity to our valued customer base
is a key part of our strategic plan for
growth globally.”
AddisonMckee and Eaton Leonard
provide tube manipulation equipment,
tooling and integrated process solutions
from manufacturing facilities in the USA,
Canada, Mexico, the UK, France and
China. The companies primarily serve
automotive, aerospace, furniture and
ship building market segments.
