ESCOBEDO, Mexico — Brembo, global leader in the design and production of high-performance braking systems, yesterday inaugurated its latest plant expansion in Escobedo, in the State of Nuevo Léon, Mexico.
Expanding from a joint-venture in Puebla in 1996 to the acquisition of Hayes-Lemmerz’s brake component operations in 2007, today Brembo independently operates three facilities in Mexico: the Escobedo caliper plant, established in 2016, the Escobedo cast-iron foundry and the disc machining plant in the nearby city of Apodaca.
“Today Nuevo León is making a transition from the traditional industry to the industry of the future”, said the Nuevo Leon governor Samuel Garcia. “We are grateful that our friends at Brembo, who had already recognized our potential since 2016, are committing once again to invest in the best place to make business in Mexico. Congratulations to everyone!”
Now fully operational, the 322,917-square-foot Escobedo expansion doubles the facility’s output, enhancing all stages of the aluminum caliper production process, from foundry to manufacturing and assembly creating 500 new jobs through 2027 in the process.
