HERMOSILLO, MEXICO – Creation Technologies has broken ground on a new high-volume electronics manufacturing facility here that will nearly triple its Mexico footprint. The company is expanding its North American footprint to better serve aerospace and defense, medical, and tech industrial customers.

The new facility will provide more capacity, with a total of 205,000 sq. ft., bringing total capacity of Mexico operations to 330,000 sq. ft., including existing capabilities in Mexicali. It is scheduled to be operational in the third quarter of 2021.

“We are thrilled to announce our plans for a significant expansion of our manufacturing capacity in Mexico,” said Stephen P. 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.

The facility will provide dedicated areas for PCB assembly, system integration and test, as well as forward and reverse logistics.
