Grote Industries has expanded its engineering design center and production facility in Apodaca, Mexico.
The branch there is called Grote Industries de Mexico. In addition to expanding its design and engineering center, 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 remain at the forefront of industry innovation, the company said.
Grote Industries de Mexico has been operating in Mexico since 1993 and employs more than 600 people.
“The expansion of Grote Industries de Mexico underscores Grote’s ongoing commitment to embrace new opportunities and create the kind of industry-leading products that customers around the globe have come to 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 carry on that tradition by consistently delivering safer, smarter products in a highly competitive marketplace.”
Grote said its investment in its operations in Mexico will enable 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 safety and visibility markets, Grote’s North American locations in Mexico, the United States and Canada play a critical role in the company’s success. These vertically integrated facilities allow Grote to smoothly navigate supply chain issues, efficiently assemble products at multiple locations, and quickly ship them to customers worldwide.
