On December 9, 2022, North American Stamping Group (NASG) held a ribbon cutting ceremony at its new automotive manufacturing facility located in Parque Industrial Queretaro, the same industrial park as our existing NASG location in Queretaro, MX.
The 65,000 sq. ft. building will provide opportunities for growth with new and existing customers and will generate approximately 65 new jobs in addition to the 250 already employed at the existing facility.
The two facilities will operate as a single facility and will have shared leadership in key positions that will oversee both plants. Our existing facility (QRO 1) has a current footprint of 245,000 sq. ft. and will operate as our automotive metal stamping facility. QRO 1 includes 20 progressive and transfer metal stamping press capabilities ranging in size from 150 ton to 2,000 ton. Our new facility (QRO 2) will house our secondary operations and shall provide welded assemblies for our customers.
The inauguration included an address from NASG’s President and CEO, Michael Haughey. “With this new facility, we are well-positioned for the growth in the automotive industry.” Mr. Haughey went on to congratulate our Mexico team on the successful commissioning of our 2nd Queretaro manufacturing location and acknowledged all the hard work and dedication the team provided during the construction process which began in March 2022.
Joining Michael Haughey at the ceremony included Jim Lumsden, General Manager of NASG MX, Ken Kawasaki, VP and GM, Steve Defazio, VP of Manufacturing, Joe Niehaus, VP and Chief Commercial Officer, Mike Lewandowski, VP and Chief Human Resources Officer as well as many of the team members
from NASG MX.
