REHAU Expands In Mexico

REHAU has opened a third facility in central Mexico to manufacture edgeband for the North American market.

The new facility, Plant Celaya 3, is next to the company’s two existing plants in the municipality of Apaseo el Grande, Gto. With an investment of $25 million, the plant adds 172,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing and warehouse space and is projected to create 300 new jobs when it reaches full production during 2024, according to the company.

“REHAU is known throughout the woodworking industry for our superior ability to produce edgeband that perfectly matches the surface laminate,” Thomas Troeger, CEO of REHAU Americas, said in a statement. “This proprietary technology is labor-intensive and requires significant skill. Once again, we turn to central Mexico to find the exceptional skilled labor force we need to support our customers as they grow their businesses.”
