Janesville Acoustics, a supplier to the automotive and transportation industry, has unveiled a new 90,000ft2 plant in central Mexico.
The company said that the second Mexican manufacturing facility, which is located in Celaya, Guanajuato will facilitate the company to support the growing automotive industry in the region.
Janesville Acoustics has invested about $4.5m for the construction of the Celaya plant, and is expecting top employ 150 individuals at the location.
Jason Incorporated chairman, president, and chief executive officer David Westgate said "Jason has an aggressive goal of 15 to 20 percent annual overall growth, to be accomplished through a combination of acquisitions and organic strategies. Thus, our attention is finely tuned to growth markets, like Mexico."
The new plant will manufacture parts utilised to manage acoustical performance of the vehicle and, therefore, will feature a felt line for production of the Marabond material, compression molding presses, and water jet trimming equipment.
