Zschimmer & Schwarz opens new technical centre in Mexico
Zschimmer & Schwarz has opened a new technical centre and warehouse in León, strengthening its presence in the Mexican leather industry. More than 70 guests attended the inauguration, which included speeches from chief operating officer Dr Felix Grimm and global director Marc Hombeck.

Mr Hombeck told leatherbiz the centre is intended as a place where customer needs can be discussed, developed and turned into finished articles. He described the investment as an important step in the company’s long term commitment to the market.

Mexico remains one of the most active regions for leather production, with rising demand for high quality and sustainable solutions, particularly in automotive and shoe upper segments. Zschimmer & Schwarz said the new site will support the full process from concept to production.

The facility combines wet end and finishing capabilities with a showroom for article development and a warehouse that will serve as a local hub for products from Germany, Italy, Argentina, Brazil and the company’s plant in Querétaro.
