Johnson Controls has opened a new manufacturing plant in Queretaro, Mexico, producing moulded polyurethane foam for automotive seats.
Construction of the new facility started in March last year and was completed in October. Production began at the plant this month.
“Johnson Controls is strongly committed to producing world-class automotive seating systems and is proud to bring this new facility to Queretaro,” said Johnson Controls foam product group VP and general manager, Brian Cooke.
“We are pleased to become a part of and support the Queretaro community.”
The new 100,000-sq ft. (9,300-sq m) plant will supply seating foam to major automakers in central Mexico.
The facility has one foam line and employs around 150 people.
