Arburg opens Mexican subsidiary

Arburg has been represented in Mexico by its own subsidiary – Arburg S.A. de C.V. – thus giving due recognition to the enormous potential of the Mexican market. This move is partly the result of the increased presence of international global players who are stepping up their production in Mexico, as well as the ever-higher quality demands made by the Mexican customers.In order to be able to support these companies in line with the high Arburg quality standard, a strong sales and service organisation is required. Arburg S.A. de C.V. has been established to continue the successful work of our trading partner IPLYH and to further enhance Arburg’s presence and proximity to its customers. The new Arburg subsidiary will present itself to the public for the first time at the Plastimagen, which will take place in Mexico City from 8 to 11 April 2008.   Experienced staff transferred to new subsidiaryImplementation of this new measure from 1 January 2008 onwards will take place seamlessly for Arburg customers as established IPLYH employees have been transferred to Arburg, including three service technicians and a salesperson. And the head of IPLYH, Juan Carlos Lachica, will also continue to work in sales. The head of the new Arburg subsidiary in Mexico is Guillermo Fasterling, who also has many years of experience in the injection moulding industry.A strong Arburg team in Mexico: In sales matters, the subsidiary manager Guillermo Fasterling (right) is supported by the former trading partner Juan Carlos Lachica.Top customer support guaranteedAs is the case with all Arburg subsidiaries worldwide, the new subsidiary in Mexico also provides a comprehensive range of services.
