Italian auxiliary equipment and automation specialist Moretto has strengthened its presence in Mexico with the opening of a direct subsidiary, Moretto de Mexico, based in Querétaro.
The company had been active in the country since 1998 through a local distributor.
"The launch of our new Mexican branch reflects our commitment to be closer to our customers and to fulfil their needs with solutions that truly match their requirements. We are excited about strengthening our presence in a dynamic, opportunity-rich market, delivering value to our local customers and improving support with an ever-more efficient service," said Renato Moretto, president of the company.
Mexico is a key market for plastics and rubber machinery, equipment and moulds. According to the national plastics association Anipac, the country’s plastics industry includes more than 4,000 companies, with the market expected to grow by around 3.5% this year.
Last year, Moretto reported a 15% increase in sales to Mexican customers compared with the previous year.
Among the country’s driving sectors are automotive, packaging, construction and recycling, supported by the positive effects of nearshoring and the favourable framework of the “Plan Mexico.”
The new Mexican subsidiary joins Moretto’s existing eight international branches, including one in the United States.
