“This production program is one of the largest in the history of the company and is an example of the trust placed in us by our customers. The US offers enormous opportunities for Grupo Antolin if we can harness them and work hard as a team. The American market is key for us,” said Ernesto Antolin, chairman of Grupo Antolin.
The company has invested more than US$70m to create the plant which employs more than 800 people.
The opening of the new plant in Shelby is another step in the industrial consolidation of Grupo Antolin in the US. In 1994, Grupo Antolin founded its first production facility in Chicago and, nowadays, the company has 15 production centres and a workforce of 5,700 people.
