MEXICO – US-based graphic communications company Taylor has announced the opening of its new label manufacturing facility in Monterrey, Mexico, expanding its operations in the country.
The new 107,000ft² label manufacturing facility is nearly 75% larger than the old building that it has replaced.
It will be used for carrying out production, warehousing and distribution operations, all under the same roof.
Taylor Print and Service Solutions president Dennis Duchene said: “Everywhere you look, prominent international manufacturers are setting up shop.
“They all need durable labels and the type of deep industry expertise that Taylor provides to manufacturers in Mexico today.”
The latest opening will further help the company address the increasing demand of Mexico-based industrial manufacturers for durable labels.
The facility features the same digital, durable-label-production equipment that Taylor uses at its label plants located in the US.
The use of this same equipment will allow the company to offer a ‘mirrored’ support model for its existing and newer customer base.
Taylor Labelling Solutions president Joe Klenke added: “Everything we do at Taylor Mexico is designed to help manufacturers who do business in both the US and Mexico.
“For our customers, this improves service levels, lowers costs and provides capacity for the development of innovative new products and services.
“Our bilingual teams in the US and Mexico are uniquely capable of providing just-in-time delivery of consistently produced, high-quality products from a variety of manufacturing locations.”
A Minnesota-based company, Taylor currently operates across 32 US states and eight countries to provide high-quality printed products and services to its customers.
Meanwhile, in January, Taylor announced the acquisition of three companies – one in Minneapolis, one in Dallas-Fort Worth and one in Naples, Florida, in an expansion strategy.
The largest addition is Acrylic Design Associates of Minneapolis, a manufacturer and merchandiser of signage, fixtures and architectural elements.
The company recently launched Recrylic, the first 100% recycled and recyclable certified acrylic product line.
Another Taylor addition is Epoly Corporation headquartered in Naples. Epoly provides customized folders, envelopes, folios and other document organization products to the promotional marketing industry. All of Epoly’s products are durable, moisture-resistant and recyclable.
The final acquisition is Legacy3 Print Media, of Garland, Texas. Legacy3 binds and finishes a wide array of printed products.
The new company will become a key part of Taylor’s print-on-demand business located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
