Global leader in design, manufacture and commercialization of hitches y jacks

Cequent Electrical Products belongs to Horizon Global, operative group leader in the design, manufacture and commercialization of a wide range of accessories for trucks, sports vehicles, recreational vehicles, tourism and all kind of tows.

Its headquarters are in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and arrived to the Villa Florida Park in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, in October 2011.

This plant, known as the metal division, dedicates to the manufacturing of hitches, a part used when hooking a trailer, it is the accessory at the rear part of the vehicle (we usually can see this in pickups.)

The manufacturing process of each part is unique and a little difficult, since it implies welding and there is a lot of aversion to the material what represents a new challenge every day.

In addition of hitches, at Cequent they do the jacks, which are the part that enables – once the trailer is dismounted from the truck – leveling it to the floor.  From the product exist jacks used in trailer boxes; jacks for agricultural equipment and for other uses.

The company is divided in two sections: Aftermarket allows obtaining parts in stores such as AutoZone or self-service stores, and where Cequent manufactures hundreds of different part numbers.

The second section is the one known as OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer,) which goes directly to automotive assemblers and of which a less number is manufactured.

Cequent has a daily production capability of 4,500 hitches and 2,500 jacks, reaching monthly figures – for example in June 2018 – of 67,000 strains.

Cequent is a global company present in Asia, Europe and America.  According with the company, the proximity its plant in Reynosa has with the American market is strategic for the group, since from here service is provided to its customers in the United States.

Among its main customers highlight the automotive companies Ford, Toyota and Nissan, among others.
