Bendix announced the 35th anniversary of its Acuña operation, crediting many factors in its success and longevity. Chief among them are the operation’s diverse business portfolio; continuous investment in growth, with an emphasis on high-tech production capabilities; commitment to sustainability and community involvement; and the dedication of its employees, the company says.
The Acuña campus engages in manufacturing, remanufacturing, and assembly across a wide range of products – actuators, air dryers, antilock braking systems (ABS), compressors, integrated vehicle modules, and valves. It has grown to three state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and a bustling logistics center – with a fourth plant, a model for high-tech production, now under construction, Bendix says.
Coming online later this year is a new production facility using advanced automation to produce two emerging next-generation technologies: Global Scalable Brake Control (GSBC) and Global Scalable Air Treatment (GSAT), according to Bendix. The new 185,000-square-foot plant will add to the Acuña operation’s existing 412,000 square feet. The company will hire an estimated 200 employees for the plant, bringing the Acuña workforce to approximately 2,000 people.
Bendix Acuña also supports a distribution center in Mexico City that serves South American customers and houses the headquarters of Mexico-based OEM and aftermarket technical sales, training, and support teams. Bendix says it expanded its Mexican presence further in 2018, opening a new Technology Center in Monterrey.
