Optimas to open fastener manufacturing facility in Mexico

Optimas, Wood Dale, Ill.

Optimas Solutions, a fastener manufacturer based in Wood Dale, Ill., has announced plans to open a cold form manufacturing plant in Monterrey, Mexico, in the second half of 2024.

"More than ever, resource availability has given way to accessibility in the form of regionalization," said Daniel Harms, CEO of Americas. "Our expanding localization strategy enables us to be more agile with our manufacturing and sourcing capabilities for industrial customers and suppliers."

"We took great care to design our Mexico facility to mirror our capabilities at our manufacturing operations in Wood Dale so they can effectively play off each other," said Ricardo Alonzo Rodríguez, vice president and general manager of Optimas in Mexico. "This ensures customers and suppliers have access to the same engineering, tooling, manufacturing, and quality processes regardless of where we produce the fasteners.”
