MEXICALI, Mexico, Dec. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Furukawa
Electric LatAm, with the guidance of Mexico manufacturing consultants IVEMSA,
opened its new 6,000-square meter manufacturing facility in
Mexicali last Friday, December 8. Furukawa LatAm, a Furukawa Electric Group
company that produces products and equipment for indoor and outdoor
network infrastructure solutions, worked closely with IVEMSA to
select the facility and set up their business entity in
Mexico.
IVEMSA president Sergio
Tagliapietra attended the new facility's ribbon-cutting as
an honored guest and joined mayor of Mexicali, Gustavo
Sanchez, and Furukawa Electric executives at the presidium.
Mayor Sanchez welcomed Furukawa Electric to Mexicali and thanked IVEMSA for their
continuing efforts to bring more foreign businesses to Mexicali and Mexico. He also recognized IVEMSA's long
history of supporting foreign companies through shelter services
and its benefits for Mexicali's
economic development.
The new facility will have two operating units: one to produce
fiber optic cables and cordages, and the other to connect and
assemble optical equipment, cordages and accessories. Furukawa
Electric expects to generate 150 direct and 30 indirect jobs
through the new plant in just the first year.
Furukawa selected IVEMSA to guide them throughout the project, a
process that took about two years and included numerous visits to
Mexicali. IVEMSA advised the
company on site selection, helped them navigate the city and
explained best-case scenarios for setting up in Mexico. IVEMSA also provided guidance on
fiscal, trade compliance and environmental regulations.
Roberto Durazo, Director of
Business Development for IVEMSA said, "We are very proud to support
the new Furukawa Electric operations with our hands-on management
services. We are offering all our support for ongoing project
management, recruiting, HR compliance, trade compliance, logistics
coordination, accounting and finance
services."
Founded in 1982, IVEMSA provides shelter and administrative
services to foreign companies that want to move manufacturing
operations to Mexico. Based in
Mexicali and with six locations
throughout Baja and Central Mexico, IVEMSA guides companies
through the entire process of establishing and conducting
operations in Mexico, including
site selection, trade compliance, human resources, recruiting,
accounting and environmental health and safety.
