Nefab has doubled its manufacturing capacity in Guadalajara, Jalisco, with a new 58,000-square-foot packaging manufacturing facility in the northern industrial clusters of Pinar. The site will integrate in-house design, production and reuse of packaging to support lithium batteries and e-mobility and automotive, electronics and datacom industries. At full capacity, the facility will employ 50 people.
Specializing in thin-gauge thermoforming, the facility will produce recyclable trays and cushioning products designed to optimize primary packaging. Automatic thermoforming technology will help scale production to meet the industry demands for cost-effective and environmentally friendly packaging.
Nefab’s new facility streamlines the entire packaging lifecycle—from design and production to recycling—under one roof. The in-house engineering team develops durable, material-efficient packaging. At the end of its lifecycle, used packaging is collected, ground down, and reformed into sheets for reuse, supporting a fully closed-loop recycling process.
"This facility strengthens our ability to provide engineered solutions tailored to customers’ needs," said Eric Wickman, regional managing director of Latin America at Nefab. "By managing the entire process in-house—from design to production and recycling—we help customers reduce material use, costs, and environmental impact."
“Mexico is experiencing incredible growth, and Guadalajara has become a major hub for technology, manufacturing and innovation," said Patric Vestlund, executive vice president of the Americas region at Nefab. "Expanding our capacity here allows us to be where our customers are - reducing logistics costs and improving supply chain efficiency. This is how we work - partnering with clients through our strong engineering backbone to develop tailored solutions that optimize resources, lower costs, and drive sustainability” he added.
Nefab’s existing Guadalajara plant specializes in wood and plywood, creating corrugated and foam packaging, and its Leon facility focuses on heavy-gauge thermoforming. Nefab also operates sites in Monterrey, Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua, Mexico.
