dormakaba, a global provider in the access solutions market, opened a new production facility in Nogales, Mexico. With operations in Mexico since 2016, the new facility represents a multimillion-dollar investment designed to support commercial growth in North America.

Carsten Franke, chief operations officer, and dormakaba Americas leadership joined Nogales employees and Mexican dignitaries to celebrate the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

“Today marks an important milestone for dormakaba,” Franke said. “The opening of this new plant in Nogales represents much more than a new facility: it is a key step in building a stronger, resilient and more flexible manufacturing network, and it reinforces our commitment to drive growth in the North America region and serve our customers with quality, reliability and speed.”

The new Nogales facility comprises 254,700 square feet, where more than 200 employees produce and ship mechanical and electronic locks to 40 countries worldwide, including the U.S., Canada, India and Germany.
