Tokyo ? The Yokohama Rubber Co. Ltd opened its automotive hose assembly plant at the San Francisco Industrial Park Phase IV in Aguascalientes, Mexico, announced the company on 27 May.
The new plant began operations in January this year as the Mexican production base of Yokohama Rubber’s wholly owned subsidiary Yokohama Industries Americas Inc.
The plant will assemble automotive hoses, including air-conditioner hoses and hoses for transmission oil coolers. Its output will be sold to automobile makers in Mexico.
“We will develop an efficient production system and a strong supply base in Mexico to meet the growing market demands of our customers," said Yokohama Rubber’s Takao Oishi, director and senior managing corporate officer.
The San Francisco Industrial Park Phase IV is located in the northern part of Aguascalientes, an area that according to Yokohama has the highest economic growth rate in Mexico.
