The increased demand for advanced injection molding is working its way up the ladder, and mold manufacturers are responding to the need for service and support in Mexico. Quebec City’s Rocand Inc. recently set up a new service facility in Mexico to enhance the company’s competitiveness. There is no question that Mexico is a land of opportunity for skilled and ambitious plastic processors, particulary in industries such as a automotive an aerospace. However with the increasing presence of supply chains and OEMs in the country's industrial centers, Canadien moldmakers are also finding a demand for their skills in Mexico.
After more than 10 years in the business, Quebec City, Que.-based Rocand Inc. recently announced that it had set up a plant in the Escobedo Industrial Park in Monterrey. Rocand is a mold & die designer and manufacturer for the injection molding, extrusion and blow molding sectors.
According to Rocand, the geographical expansion enhanced its competitiveness, enabling the company to offer high quality products with better lead times.
“Rocand is a close supplier that can offer continuous technical support for new molds, for mold maintenance, repair and modification near our client,” explained company president Andre Rochette.
The facility, which had been in development for approximately two years, features 8,000 square feet of production floor space and 5,000 square feet of office space. Management’s first goal was to provide enhanced and value-added service to Rocand’s past and existing clients, many of whom have operations in Mexico.
“We have installed this facility to offer technical support to our clients in Mexico,” said Rocand’s vice president Sarah Begin. “The facility is presently involved in mold maintenance and light engineering changes on the mold.”
