14 Juli 2022 - 5:08PM
Today, Atotech (NYSE: ATC), a leading specialty chemicals
technology company and a market leader in advanced electroplating
solutions, celebrated the inauguration of its new production site
in Querétaro, Mexico. The site is located at Parque Industrial
Aeropuerto (PIA) Colón and has a capacity to produce 33 tons/day.
In Querétaro, Atotech produces products for general metal
finishing, which are used in various industries, including
automotive, construction, heavy machinery, and white goods. The
company produced its first batch of chemistry at the new site in
May.
Geoff Wild, CEO at Atotech, said: “I am pleased to announce the
official opening of our new site in Mexico as it marks an important
milestone for our company. The Querétaro site will allow Atotech to
significantly expand its production capacity and sustainable growth
in Mexico as well as the Americas. It also supports the expected
rise in customer demand in the coming years. I’d like to thank
everyone involved for their support, dedication, and teamwork to
get our new site operational.”
The new facility will ensure more efficient transportation of
goods and delivery due to its strategic location near the
automotive and industrial clusters at the Bajío Area (Querétaro,
San Luis Potosí and Guanajuato).
Ramón Bertrán, Managing Director of Atotech Mexico, added: “Our
new site brings many advantages. The location will enable us to
accelerate the growth in Mexico as we are located in direct
proximity to existing and potential customers. The new facility
also includes a state-of-the-art laboratory with high-end
technology, processes, and qualified personnel to run analyses to
better serve our customers. Furthermore, we are very pleased that
our 76 employees are enjoying working at this facility, which was
completed with their safety, comfort, and well-being in mind.”
The Atotech team celebrated the opening with guests from
customers and authorities in a safe manner by taking all necessary
steps to follow COVID-19 precautionary measures for the event.
Special guests included Mauricio Kuri, Governor of Querétaro state,
and Marco Antonio Del Prete III, local secretary of industrial
development from the estate government of Querétaro. Members
of the Atotech management team, including Peter Frauenknecht, CFO,
Gertjan van der Wal, President of the company’s GMF business, and
John Kochilla, Vice President of the Americas, attended the event,
introduced the new facility, and welcomed everyone at customer
workshops that were offered for the occasion of the
