North Jackson, Ohio-based Liberty Steel Products, Inc. has signed a contract with The Offshore Group for the provision of outsourced manufacturing support, or "shelter," services in Mexico.
The company will build a 40,000 square foot industrial building that will be located in the city of Saltillo in the Alianza industrial park. At its maturity, the project will employ 40 laborers.
According to Liberty Steel's General Manager of Operations, Joe Dubaj, "As a company we are very proud of our track record of customer service. As a commitment to our loyal customers we are adding an additional operation in Mexico to support their production efforts.
"Our new facility will be initially dedicated to stamping and assembly. We will have press capacity up through 2000 tons and be capable to run both progressive and transfer operations.
"We explored various locations and options for establishing an operation in Mexico. Being a midsized lean company presents many challenges to establish a facility outside the U.S. The comprehensive list of services provided by the Offshore Group allowed us to overcome many unknown factors. We have a great comfort level that we have aligned ourselves with a partner that will make our new operation successful."
