Luvata, a world leader in metal solution manufacturing, heat transfer technology and engineering and design services, announced Friday that it has broken ground on its latest facility--a coatings plant in Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila, Mexico. The plant will offer two protective coatings for HVACR equipment - ElectroFin E-coat and Luvata Insitu.
The new facility, located 40 miles from an existing Luvata facility in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, is the company's 15th facility in North America.
Construction of the new multi-million dollar facility includes 50,000-square feet of manufacturing space and 7,000-square feet of office space. The building will have four loading docks and one ground level drive in door that can accommodate a full-size tractor and trailer. The plant is expected to be operational in Q2 2013 and Luvata estimates 45 employees will be needed to operate the plant at full capacity.
Luvata Ramos joins Luvata's two other full service coil-coating centers in Louisville, Kentucky and Jacksonville, Texas.
