The new facility is one of five assembly centers of the international NORD DRIVEYSTEMS Group in North America. The grand opening was attended by 100 visitors, Distributors, OEMs, logistics partners and end users from all over the country.

A representation of visitors from NORD Gear Corporation, USA, and a program that included topics such as future expansion plans for the Mexico and US operations, a growing presence in Latin America and NORD’s history both in Mexico and globally made this event of truly global importance.

The anniversary celebrations were held in a very joyous spirit with dinner, dancing and a Mariachi tribute to an employee celebrating his birthday. Two employees who have been with the Mexican subsidiary from the start received special recognition. The Huimilpan facility, which now boasts a shop floor of 20,000 square feet, is poised to expand its assembly capacity and add more product lines in the coming years. NORD Mexico currently employs a team of ten. The company serves customers nationwide, offering very short lead times and excellent availability with four district offices and over 35 distributor locations.
