Mexico / USA – Avon, Ohio-based Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC has opened its newly expanded manufacturing plant in Acuña, Mexico, improving the company’s production capacity to facilitate the increasing demand from the North American market. The 185,000-square-foot facility is responsible for producing the Global Scalable Brake Control (GSBC) and Global Scalable Air Treatment (GSAT) products that enable automated driving.

Piotr Sroka, Bendix President, CEO, and COO said: “We’re proud to unveil this new plant, which is the physical manifestation of the move toward greater automation and high-tech assembly at our Acuña operation. Reaching this milestone is the result of an ongoing, concerted effort over the last eight years to increase the sophistication of the operation across a range of products and doing so with Bendix’s signature product performance, quality, and reliability. Most importantly, as customers are always at the centre of our thinking, the increasing high-tech production capabilities in Acuña improve our productivity and give us the added flexibility to respond to the growing demands of our OEM and fleet customers including meeting and exceeding their delivery expectations. The new facility is the latest example of our manufacturing operations evolution here in North America and around the globe in step with the changing commercial vehicle marketplace.”
