The new production centre, managed by industry expert Omar Ramirez, will manufacture or assemble AERZEN standard products tailored to the needs of regional customers. Only components from local manufacturers that meet AERZEN’s high quality standards will be used. The first products will be blower packages of the type Delta Blower in the versions GM 4 S to GM 150 S. In the next phase, rotary lobe compressors of the Delta Hybrid series will follow. “The product range will be expanded even further in the coming years,” says Gabriel Ventosa. The General Manager of AERZEN México also points to the positive impact of regional manufacturing on the environment: “When components no longer have to be transported long distances, our CO2 footprint is significantly reduced. As a result, our machines also have a better environmental balance.”
In our changing world, globalisation has reached its limits in many ways. Materials, components and machines must be available in all parts of the world with very short delivery times to meet customer needs. These requirements are changing faster and faster, following global trends, making it even more difficult for companies to respond from a central location within a reasonable timeframe. Against this backdrop, AERZEN has set the course for a new production centre in the Americas region.
“We chose Mexico for this because the country has numerous trade agreements with over 40 countries and regions around the world, many of them in the Americas. This makes Mexico ideal for supplying the Americas region with products quickly and efficiently. Mexico has also established itself as a production location for many other important markets, including the USA,” explains Friedrich Harten, Vice President AERZEN Americas.
