Fersa Opens a New Factory in Monterrey, Mexico The new Monterrey factory expands Fersa’s local production capacity for OEM, Tier 1 and aftermarket customers in North America. The new plant, which began operations at the end of July this year, is located in the FINSA Apodaca Industrial Park in Monterrey, an industrial area close to the airport and to major logistics connections in the Mexican state of Nuevo León. This location places Fersa closer to its customers in North America, including original equipment manufacturers, Tier 1 suppliers and aftermarket customers. A new production centre for the North American market The Monterrey factory begins operations with a tapered roller bearing manufacturing line, mainly intended for heavy-duty automotive applications. Local production in Mexico is intended to reduce dependence on imports from other regions and support supply continuity for OEM and aftermarket customers in North America. Thanks to the opening of the new factory in Monterrey, Fersa currently has a team of around 50 people in Mexico, including the production staff at the new plant and the administrative, commercial and logistics team based in Guadalajara, in the state of Jalisco, which has been part of the group since 2022. The plant team has been hired locally in Mexico and received specific training at Fersa facilities in Spain before the start of production. In addition, the project involved process teams from Spain during the installation and start-up phases, to align the industrial launch with the company’s global production and quality standards. Industrial growth plan in Mexico The opening of Monterrey marks the beginning of a growth roadmap for Fersa’s industrial capabilities in Mexico. In its current phase, the plant operates with one manufacturing line and an approximate capacity of 500,000 sets per year. Fersa is working to incorporate an additional assembly line for clutch actuators by the end of 2026, with an expected capacity of 5,000 units per month. In 2027, the company plans to add a second manufacturing line with similar characteristics to the current one, which will allow it to reach a total approximate capacity of one million sets per year, in addition to the production of clutch actuators. The plan will expand local production capacity for heavy-duty automotive applications.
