FREMONT, CALIFORNIA ― October 2025 ― Anda Automation, a leading global provider of fluid application and custom design manufacturing equipment, has officially opened its newest showroom and advanced testing laboratory in Guadalajara, Mexico. The facility is the most comprehensive dispensing center in Latin America and is designed to help manufacturers speed up product development and improve production efficiency.

The grand opening earlier this month brought together industry partners, customers, and local dignitaries for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Speakers included Carlos Barraza, Mexico Sales Manager for Anda Technologies Mexico, and Abby Tsoi, CEO of Anda Americas, who noted the role the Guadalajara facility will play in connecting advanced technology with the region’s growing electronics sector.

“Guadalajara has become a center of gravity for electronics manufacturing in Latin America,” said Abby Tsoi. “By opening this facility, we’re making it easier for local manufacturers to access the technologies, training, and support they need to push new ideas into production.”

The new lab offers on-site support including technical training, application testing, and rapid delivery of key components. It is equipped with advanced dispensing systems, conformal coating applications, UV and IR curing technologies, plasma surface treatment, and 3D conformal coating inspection from Anda partners.

Core resources include two fully equipped IR and UV coating lines, a plasma treatment system for advanced surface preparation, and a range of dispensing platforms featuring multiple valve technologies. These capabilities allow customers to run real-world process evaluations, fine-tune material flow, and validate performance with precision. Whether for prototyping high-density PCBs in automotive sensors or scaling consumer electronics production, the Guadalajara facility provides a practical environment to move designs from concept to market-ready products.
