Denso to build additional manufacturing facility in Mexico

Denso Corp subsidiary Denso Mexico S.A. de C.V., located in Apodaca City, Nuevo Leon, will build an additional plant in Silao, Guanajuato, Mexico, to help the company expand its business in the country and meet the growing needs of its North American customers who are ramping up their operations in the region.

The plant will manufacture heating, ventilation and air conditioning units.

The new facility, with total investment of $57 million, is expected to employ more than 400 people by 2015. Construction of the 25,600-square-meter facility will begin in March, and production is set to start in October 2013.

This will be the third plant for Denso, which also has a facility in Guadalupe City, Nuevo Leon state. The company currently manufactures a variety of automotive products at its two existing plants, including instrument clusters, climate control panels, and system control components such as variable cam timing and oil control valves.
