Plant to serve Rolls-Royce and Mexico’s rapidly expanding aerospace industry.
MACCLESFIELD (U.K.) — At the 49th International Paris Air Show, worldwide thermal processing specialists Bodycote today announced the planned opening, in the third quarter 2011, of a new vacuum heat treatment facility in northwest Mexico. The first of its kind in the region, the facility will provide outsourced specialist processing support to major aerospace and power generation suppliers in the area, including those that serve the likes of Rolls-Royce, Honeywell, Siemens, along with other aerospace and power generation manufacturers in the region.
Bodycote’s core business is to provide services that improve the properties of metals and alloys, thereby making products stronger and safer. The company plays a vital role in the aerospace supply chain.
Its new plant, located in the city of Empalme in the State of Sonora, is a result of Bodycote’s recently signed long-term agreement with Trac Precision, a key supplier to Rolls-Royce and Siemens.
Under this agreement, Bodycote will support Trac’s Mexico operations with vacuum brazing and heat treating. In addition, the plant will be a more cost-effective option for other aviation manufacturers within the region, enabling them to provide complete processing without transporting parts back to the U.S. This streamlines their supply chain by reducing labor and logistical costs, improving turnaround times and reduces their capital employed.
Bodycote’s facility will be housed at the Bella Vista Industrial Park, which is operated by The Offshore Group, the largest provider of outsourced manufacturing support, or „shelter” services, in Mexico.
The new Mexico location will maintain full aerospace accreditation and prime approvals supported by Nadcap and AS9100.
