Inauguration of Stahl’s new centre of excellence in Mexico complete
Leather chemicals group Stahl has formally inaugurated its new centre of excellence for leather finishing in León, Mexico.
The project involved relocation the facility to a new site and enhancing the laboratory and testing technology the company has in place there.
Stahl said this investment was a reflection of its commitment to delivering “advanced, lower-impact products to customers across Latin America”.
It added that this project was part of a wider strategy that had led to the doubling of Stahl’s production capacity in China, a new production facility at Ranipet in India, a new centre of excellence in the US, a new laboratory in Japan and a new coatings facility in Singapore.
Commenting on the inauguration of the new site in León, chief executive, Maarten Heijbroek, said: “Mexico is an important market for Stahl, with a strong base of automotive, fashion and footwear customers. By investing in this enhanced facility, we are staying close to where our customers are and giving them access to the very best technologies, people and expertise.”
