Nefab has expanded its sustainable packaging solutions capacity in Guadalajara, Jalisco, by launching a new 5,400m² production facility in the northern industrial zone of Pinar in Mexico.
The newly established site will offer a comprehensive range of services, including design, production, and recycling of packaging materials.
Specialising in thin-gauge thermoforming, the facility will produce recyclable cushioning solutions and trays designed to optimise primary packaging.
With the incorporation of automated thermoforming technology, the plant is able to scale production while meeting the growing demand for eco-friendly, cost-efficient packaging options.
When fully operational, the facility is expected to employ around 50 people.
The site incorporates a closed-loop recycling model, enabling the collection, grinding, and reforming of used packaging into new sheets for reuse, promoting a sustainable packaging life cycle.
As part of its commitment to sustainability, Nefab plans to incorporate 100% recycled content in several of its materials and expand this approach across all material types.
The facility’s engineering team leverages proprietary tooling to create customised packaging solutions.
Nefab Latin America regional managing director Eric Wickman said: “This facility strengthens our ability to provide engineered solutions tailored to customers’ needs.
“By managing the entire process in-house – from design to production and recycling- we help customers reduce material use, costs, and environmental impact.”
Nefab Americas executive vice-president Patric Vestlund added: “Mexico is experiencing incredible growth, and Guadalajara has become a major hub for technology, manufacturing, and innovation.
“Expanding our capacity here allows us to be where our customers are – reducing logistics costs and improving supply chain efficiency.
“This is how we work – partnering with clients through our strong engineering backbone to develop tailored solutions that optimise resources, lower costs, and drive sustainability.”
