Brembo, leader in the design and production of high-performance braking systems, announced the expansion of its plant located in the GP Escobedo industrial park, where it is investing 207 million dollars, with which it expects to double the production capacity of calipers to six million of pieces.

The CEO of Brembo in North America, Stéphane Rolland, commented, "we are going to double the capacity of the plant with this investment", and even when there is automation of some processes, the machines are operated by technicians.

Doubling the space and production capacity enables the next generation of technology, with Brembo staff, he told a news conference.

During the inauguration, he noted that "the expansion of the Escobedo plant greatly increases Brembo's ability to serve our North American customers.

As Brembo continues to advance in the world of brakes, advanced installations like this help bring our vision to life, which represents another step in our mission to be a solutions provider and serve our customers globally."

According to a company bulletin, "Now fully operational, Escobedo's 30,000-square-meter expansion doubles production of aluminum calipers, from casting to fabrication and assembly, creating 500 new jobs until 2027, in this process". To date, they have 1,500 jobs at the Escobedo plant.

Today Brembo independently operates three facilities in Mexico: the Escobedo caliper plant, the Escobedo cast iron foundry and the disc machining plant in Apodaca.
