NEENAH, WI -- Plexus today announced work will begin in June on a massive new factory in Guadalajara, Mexico.
The planned 472,000 sq. ft. leased building will be built for Plexus and will be strategically located near the EMS company's current site in the Guadalajara Technology Park.
Steve Frisch, executive vice president and chief operating officer, said, “Plexus opened its first facility in Guadalajara only four years ago and our customer response was overwhelmingly positive. The Plexus Guadalajara management team has built a solid reputation for superior execution and exceeding customer’s expectations. In order to capitalize on this success, we are expanding our presence in Guadalajara to ensure that we are well positioned to meet future growth projections in the region.”
Plexus currently employs more than 1,800 workers in Mexico. The second building will employ about 3,000 when at full capacity.
Construction for the new facility will begin in June with completion expected by June 2019.
