Swedish packaging provider Nefab opened a roughly 7,000-square-meter manufacturing plant in Apodaca, where it will produce its ExPak line of industrial crates.
Nefab expects the Apodaca site to create around 100 jobs. El Financiero reported that the company is localizing production to give customers a more flexible source of supply as their needs change.

Mexico Business News says the plant is Nefab’s first domestic production site for ExPak packaging. It complements a 3,000-square-meter engineering and testing center in Guadalajara; the two locations are expected to add up to 160 specialized jobs across Mexico.
