Grote Industries has announced an expansion of its engineering design center and production facility, Grote Industries de Mexico, in Apodaca, Mexico.
In addition to expanding its design and engineering center with this new investment, manufacturing space has been expanded by more than 50% to accommodate new production and shipping capacity.
These improvements will increase efficiency, reduce costs and help Grote stay at the forefront of innovation in the industry. Grote Industries de Mexico has been operating in Mexico since 1993 and employs over 600 people.
"The expansion of Grote Industries de Mexico underscores Grote's continued commitment to seizing new opportunities and creating the kind of industry-leading products that customers around the world rely on," said Dominic Grote, President and CEO of Grote Industries.
"Grote Industries has been a leader in innovation for more than 120 years; Today they continue that tradition by offering safer and smarter products in a highly competitive market," he added.
Grote's investment in its operations in Mexico will allow the company to be more competitive and better serve its customers in an increasingly challenging market. As a major player in the transportation industry's security and visibility markets, Grote's locations in North America (in Mexico, the United States, and Canada) play a critical role in the company's success.
These vertically integrated facilities allow Grote to seamlessly navigate supply chain issues, assemble products efficiently across multiple locations, and quickly ship them to customers around the world.
"The expansion and enhancement of our operation in Mexico will further our overall goal of operating safe and environmentally friendly facilities dedicated to the pursuit of defect-free manufacturing," said Grote.
For his part, the general manager of Grote Industries de Mexico, Antonio Leal, said he sees the impact of this new investment firsthand.
