AZTEMA lays first stone
The company will be based in the Castro del Río Industrial Park, where it will manufacture radial tyres.
With the intention of manufacturing high quality tyres from Irapuato, Guanajuato, AZTEMA has laid the first stone, which stands out for being the first car radial tyre factory in Mexico with Mexican and Chinese investment.
It is estimated that 51% of the investment was made by Sailun and 49% by the Mexican company, Tire Direct. From its strategic headquarters located in the Castro del Rio Industrial Park in the municipality of Irapuato, the company estimates the production of 600,000 tyres per year.
"We have our Corporate, our MASTER CEDIS, our MACRO CEDIS expanding to MAGNO CEDIS, which is an operational center for TD Miles - all located in the city of Leon, Guanajuato - and now with the Joint Venture alliance with the company SAILUN, we start with AZTEMA: Rubber & Tire Manufacturing" said Gonzalo Santamarina, CEO of Tire Direct.
It is worth noting that this is the first Chinese brand to integrate a complete industrial chain covering new materials, processes, technology, equipment, modern management, and talent, which adds to strengthening Guanajuato's Mind Manufacturing Valley.
The governor of Guanajuato, Diego Sinhue Rodríguez, said it is an honor to accompany the directors of this great company of Chinese origin, who will operate under the figure of the company AZTEMA, in alliance with Tire Direct. "Its presence and operation will boost the strengthening of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises and suppliers in our state," Sinhue said.
