New Kurtz Ersa Manufacturing Facility in Mexico Inaugurated
Opening in a small circle - Grand Opening on 17.09.2024
At the “Soft Opening” in mid-April, the management of Kurtz Ersa México received a good impression of the factory building. Kurtz Ersa Mexico Manufacturing has over 4,500 m2 of production space, offices, and a demo center. “It was impressive to see how much space the new hall offers for further growth. We are pioneers in the North American market for the nearshoring of soldering machines – our customers are already waiting to receive the proven Ersa quality and technology on site. We are creating one of the most modern manufacturing facilities in Mexico and we are convinced that this step will be a great success,” said Albrecht Beck, President & COO of Kurtz Ersa, Inc. (KEI), responsible for the Americas business in the Kurtz Ersa Group.
With the opening of the new production facility in Ciudad Juárez we are expanding our capacities in Mexico, this in addition to the existing service and logistics centers in Plymouth (Wisconsin, USA), Dallas Fort Worth (Texas, USA), and Guadalajara (Jalisco, Mexico). Juárez is established as the third service and logistics center in North America. The technology transfer from Germany to Mexico was a key part of the expansion, enabling Kurtz Ersa customers to be served even more competently thanks to the growing Mexican team.
The new production facility in Ciudad Juárez plays a central role in the production of Ersa soldering machines and serves as pre-production for the U.S. Kurtz plant. Initially, the plant will focus on the production of Ersa HOTFLOW reflow soldering systems. “Given the rapid growth in the Americas, local customers will be better served by the new production facility in Chihuahua, the CO2 footprint will be minimized, delivery times shortened, and freight costs reduced,” explained Albrecht Beck, CEO of KEI, regarding the planned business in the Americas.
