German car manufacturer AKT Altmarker Kunststoff-Technik GmbH has reportedly signed a contract with The Offshore Group of Tucson, Arizona for the provision of outsourced manufacturing support, or “shelter” services in Saltillo, Mexico.
The company has signed a lease agreement for the rental of 34,822 square feet of industrial space at The Offshore Group’s La Angostura Industrial Park. AKT will join other German manufacturers OKE GmbH and Turck, Inc. at the site.
At the project’s maturity AKT will employ approximately 83 direct labor employees. The company will manufacture injected molded parts for automotive industry applications.
According to Customer Business Unit Director, Roland Kluhspies, “Our decision to establish an operation in Mexico was predicated on a desire to offer our customers a low cost North American solution. We have great faith in the productivity of the workforce located at The Offshore Group’s interior location at Saltillo.”
