Hultek will invest in a new high-tech plant in Nuevo León

Hultek  will invest in a plant that will have more than 100,000 square feet of construction in the first stage, as well as more than 70 manufacturing machines , line automation, testing laboratory, cargo and logistics center, among other facilities.

In the new facilities, its three production plants located in Nuevo León will be unified, and the products will be destined for the automotive and appliance industries, among others.

This center will be one of the largest hubs for the production of molded rubber parts and extruded profiles in the country (in terms of companies not dedicated to the tire sector), and it will be located in García , Nuevo León.

"During the last year, we have grown more than 25%, driven by the supplier relocation strategy of tractor companies," said Carlos González, CEO of Hultek.

The company manufactures more than 60 million pieces of rubber each year, which has allowed its expansion with clients from a wide variety of industries, including electronics and the energy sector. 

González recognized that the context of regionalization of supply has helped the growth of the company; however, there are some challenges that the rubber and transformation industry faces with the so-called new reality.

"The rubber parts sector imports 60% of the inputs for production , and in recent months there has been a shortage of some of these elements," said González.

For this reason, the company has resorted to new processes, investment in machinery and the redesign of the production plan to keep its manufacturing areas working, the manager concluded.
