Ziemann Holvrieka opens new production facility in Mexico

Ziemann Holvrieka has opened a new production facility in Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila, Mexico. This strategic investment of approximately €20 million marks a significant milestone in the company's expansion plans, enhancing local manufacturing capabilities and strengthening its footprint in this key market.

The new site spans an impressive 48,131 square meters. The plant includes a production hall (approximately 6,500 square meters) and modern office spaces with 75 workstations across three floors (1,400 square meters). Equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including laser cutting, plasma welding and tank manufacturing machines, Ziemann Holvrieka produces high-quality stainless-steel tanks, tank parts, small vessels, and premanufactured skids and units. Additionally, the production facility will serve as a regional hub for engineering, customer service support, sales, and quality assurance.

"The opening of this site represents our commitment to a local presence. It brings us closer to our many customers, reduces logistics complexities, and positions us strategically within the region," says Klaus Gehrig, CEO of Ziemann Holvrieka GmbH and President of CLPT. "With our extensive network and expertise, we are well-positioned to meet growing market demands and explore new opportunities."

The choice of location reflects a strategic alignment with key business priorities. "We have excellent connections to neighboring countries, proximity to our key accounts and suppliers. We also have access to a pool of highly skilled talents," comments Fernando Canales, Managing Director of the new production facility. "The project’s on-time and on-budget completion is a testament to the collaborative efforts of our local teams and headquarters." 

In addition to serving Ziemann Holvrieka’s customers, the facility will also support the operations of Briggs of Burton and DME. The sister companies have established a strong customer base in Mexico. This integration will allow Ziemann Holvrieka to further enhance synergies across the group, drive efficiency and expand its service capabilities.

With a dynamic market landscape, the company aims to leverage this investment to boost customer service and expand its market reach. "We anticipate stronger customer loyalty through enhanced service capabilities and local market insights," adds Florian Schneider, CCO of Ziemann Holvrieka GmbH, Germany. “This facility positions us to respond more swiftly to market needs and unlock new growth opportunities.”

The operational license was secured in December, and production has already commenced. "We are grateful for the support of local government bodies, business partners, and employees who contributed to the success of this project," says Fernando Canales.
