Box building comes to Mexico

Nolato Querétaro, which is in the Mexican city of El Marques, became part of Nolato in connection with the Group’s acquisition of GW Plastics in 2020. For almost 20 years, the company has been developing and manufacturing polymer products for leading customers in the automotive sector, medtech and industry in general.

In the past, the company has focused on components with tight tolerances and sub-assembly. Since joining Nolato, the business has expanded and taken on new technologies, such as two-component injection molding, complete assembly and automated box building.

Box building means that during production, the complete assembled product is automatically function-tested, placed in its consumer packaging, supplied with manuals, sealed and placed on a pallet for delivery to the end customers.

The concept is perfectly suited to the ‘One Nolato’ principle, as in this case the product was previously only made in Europe, but production in Querétaro means it is now being made closer to the end customers in North America as well. 

Operations at Nolato in Mexico have expanded and taken on new technologies such as complete assembly and automated box building.
