Seco Tools Opens New Facility in Mexico

The Mexican manufacturing sector has rapidly matured in recent decades, with new factories featuring the latest in state-of-the-art technology. To further strengthen their customer support in Mexico, Seco Tools, LLC (Troy, MI) recently opened a new facility in Querétaro. Led by Curtis Hassan, Seco Tools de Mexico will provide support and services to local customers with unparalleled access to their full range of innovative tooling, training programs and engineering services.

“In previous years, our Mexican customers and channel partners had to visit our Troy headquarters for training,” said Rob Keenan, the president of Seco Tools, LLC. “Now we can offer such services as tool failure analysis and engineering consultations directly to those users in their own local areas.” This new facility features a microscopy lab for the analysis of used or damaged tools, as well as a dedicated aerospace applications expert and a manufacturing process engineer for customers with highly specialized needs. It also includes a variety of spaces for conducting the Seco Technical Education Program (STEP) training sessions and consultations regarding process optimization with our engineered solutions team.

“We’re incredibly proud of the progress we’ve made in Mexico,” noted Hassan. “Establishing a physical office has already helped us serve customers better than ever before, reducing delivery times and costs while simultaneously meeting our customers’ desire for local technical and engineering support.”
