DeFalco, chairman and CEO, Creation Technologies. “This expansion builds on our current Mexico operations, where we have over 700 dedicated employees focused on providing outstanding service to our customers’ high reliability needs.”
The site will have space for up to 12 automated SMT lines and will be a purpose-built greenfield facility designed for Lean factory flow.
