We are thrilled to announce that Rexnord Aerospace has begun the process of expanding our operations by opening a production facility in Chihuahua, Mexico. The new facility, which will bring an additional 125,000 sq feet to our operations, will support the significant growth we are experiencing as a result of an increase in product demand and overall recovery of the aerospace market. The state-of-the-art facility keeps sustainability at the forefront by incorporating solar energy to support production needs and other energy efficiency features to drive our net zero carbon footprint goals.

What Does This Mean for Our Customers?

The Chihuahua facility will increase our production capacity to better support the growth of our highly valued customers.

Opening a new facility doesn’t happen overnight and though we are very eager to have the building operational, we still have some steps to take until we are there. We want to take you along the journey with us and share the exciting process until the doors are open and we are actively shipping products.
