Oct. 22, 2023 - Ahlstrom said it is opening a new warehouse in Nuevo León, Mexico. The new facility becomes operational in January 2026.
According to Ahlstrom, this expansion reinforces the company's commitment to supporting filtration customers throughout Mexico by enabling quicker lead times, lowering capital expenditures, accelerating time-to-market, and enhancing overall operational efficiency.
"Our investment in this new warehouse strengthens our dedication to being closer to our customers to support their business growth," said Willy Bordignon, VP Americas. "By reducing delivery times and helping to lower our customers' capital costs, we are ensuring they receive the highest level of service and value from us."
Strategically positioned, the new warehouse serves as an ideal logistics hub for reaching Mexico's major industrial centers. From this facility, Ahlstrom will provide expedited service to Monterrey, Saltillo, San Luis Potosí, Aguascalientes, León, and Querétaro.
The new 2,600 square meter warehouse will feature four loading docks, a packaging line, and a test lab. It will also consolidate sales operations and create synergies with existing offices to drive greater efficiency.
