New Albany, Ohio – The Commercial Vehicle Group Inc. has broken ground on a new wire harness facility in Agua Prieta, Mexico. The facility will expand and enhance capabilities for the construction, agriculture, and specialty vehicle markets.
The new 140,000ft2 facility is being built on 13.92 acres adjacent to the company’s current operation in Agua Prieta. It is expected to be completed by the end of the year with capacity for 1,500 employees.
Director of Agua Prieta operations Jaime Hernandez says 30 employees have been with the company since it opened the original Agua Prieta facility in 2000.
President and CEO Patrick Miller says, “We are proud of the partnership that has grown over the past 15 years between the Agua Prieta community, the city of Douglas, Arizona, and CVG. We have great confidence in our local CVG team and expect that they will manage this new round of investment to the same positive outcome as previous investments.”
