Cadrex Manufacturing Solutions opens new facility near existing site in Mexico
Cadrex Manufacturing Solutions has opened a new production facility in Juarez, Mexico. The company, which claims to be one of the largest manufacturing partners and mechanical solutions providers in North America, recently opened its new 150,000-square-foot facility, bringing its total manufacturing space in Mexico to 405,000 square feet. The plant offers sheet metal fabrication, sheet metal stamping, welding, plastic injection molding, and assembly and testing. Cadrex, which serves clients in the data center infrastructure, fiber optics, 5G, and semiconductor markets, hopes to add hundreds of new employees over the next few years.
In a recent quote, Cadrex CEO Brian Steel said, “This is a time of growth for our company, particularly in Mexico. Monterrey’s manufacturing industry is booming, and it is a geographically ideal location. It is close to our network of sites in the U.S. while allowing us to branch across North America and support regional supply chain demand.”
