Hexacomb Corp., Buffalo Grove, Ill., USA, a Boise Inc. company that produces paper-based protective packaging and graphic display boards, has opened a new manufacturing facility in central Mexico. Located in the state of Querétaro, the new facility will produce Hexacomb's full line of paper-based honeycomb protective packaging products, including sheets, runners, and edge and corner protectors.
"Due to the sizeable demand in Mexico for Hexacomb products, we have added a second manufacturing facility there. We have helped many Mexican customers, who range from large multinational corporations to smaller regional companies, to lower their total system costs by switching to Hexacomb honeycomb," said Scott Daniel, president.
Hexacomb had been supplying its many customers in central Mexico from its Monterrey facility, which is located in the northeastern part of the country. With Hexacomb's business growing in central Mexico, the new manufacturing facility is ideally located to support the needs of that region. The additional Hexacomb honeycomb production output will address growing demand from multiple market segments including automotive, glass, spinning mills, appliances, and food/beverage.
"It's important to locate a manufacturing facility in close proximity to our customers. This has a positive impact on both speed-of-delivery and freight costs and is in keeping with the environmentally-responsible nature of our product line," Daniel said.
Hexacomb has 13 manufacturing plants located in North America and Europe. More information is available online.
