Balluff opens production facility in Mexico

Grand opening at Balluff's Aguascalientes, Mexico, facility

Sensor and automation technology provider Balluff opened a $53 million production facility in Aguascalientes, Mexico, on Oct. 27, 2023. With the 7,000-sq.-m greenfield facility, the company is regionalizing its supply chain.

"We believe that business is local and regional, and so is production. That's why the new site in Aguascalientes plays a key role in supplying our customers in the Americas region with locally produced products, high availability, and short delivery times," said Frank Nonnenmann, managing director and head of supply chain.

The company has 70 employees in Aguascalientes, with plans for 100 workers by the end of the year and 700 by 2027.
