In August 2015, Putzmeister Mexico, a division of Putzmeister America, Inc., celebrated the opening of its new concrete transit mixer factory in Monterrey, Mexico, with an open house for customers, distributors, vendors and employees. The plant now serves as the primary concrete mixer manufacturing facility for the Americas.
“We were honored to have an opportunity to introduce our sales staff to our customers and to show them the new facility and the huge investment we’ve put forth in Mexico,” said Sebastian Vidal, president & CEO of Putzmeister Mexico. “With this new plant, we will not only be able to provide the best products and support to Mexico, but also to all of North America and Latin America.”
At the event, Vidal announced Putzmeister Mexico’s exclusive concrete transit mixer distributor relationship in Mexico with Construmac, a trusted distributor partner that has worked with Putzmeister since the 1980s for distribution of concrete pumping equipment. The Mexico plant will also supply the company’s Houston, Texas facility with mixers for mounting and distribution to customers in the southern U.S. and to the Sturtevant, Wisconsin-based facility for customers in the northern U.S. and Canada.
More than 200 people attended the open house, which included a factory tour, an authentic Mexican lunch, speeches and a performance from a mariachi band. Guests had the opportunity to view a variety of equipment on display, including the debut of the brand new Pro Mixer R4 concrete transit mixer models, a 38Z-5-meter truck-mounted concrete boom pump, a BSA 120-D trailer-mounted concrete pump and two Thom-Katt® trailer pumps. Additionally, three truck manufacturers, Mack, International and Kenworth had their chassis displayed. The event was a huge success, with a number of new concrete transit mixer orders taken.
