MOBILE, Ala. — BBB Industries has announced the completion of an expansion of its Mexico manufacturing campus. The company has added 155,000 square feet to its manufacturing footprint, bringing the total size of the BBB campus in Mexico to 12 acres and nearly 500,000 square feet.
The ISO 9001 certified facility employs more than 2,000 people and manufactures and distributes nearly 11,000 unique parts for foreign and domestic light-duty, heavy-duty and fleet, industrial, off-road, marine and power sports applications.
BBB says the expanded facilities, now in full operation, provide the company with improved product flow, cost reductions and additional distribution capability. The company said additional space was needed to increase manufacturing capacity, improve core handling capabilities and shorten lead times to customers as a result of continuing growth.
“The fact that the company grew through the recessionary period and continued to service our customers at the industry’s highest levels pays tribute to our team in Mexico. This expansion will play a role in our desire to continue our growth trends while remaining customer centric,” said Vice President of Operations Jeff Bigler. “In addition, the expansion of our rotating electrical remanufacturing facility and the capital invested in our recently acquired power steering facility will contribute to our efforts to be the low-cost, high-quality leader in the remanufactured products category.”
BBB said the expansion also provides the company with increased manufacturing efficiencies, which enhance its ongoing cost-containment efforts.
