Press release
5 Sep. 2022
Lockdowns and supply chain disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic are affecting the operations of automakers. This makes the localization of component procurement a big issue for global OEMs. Localization brings several benefits; if within the country, effects from exchange rate fluctuation can be cut, and even if among neighboring countries, transportation lead time and logistic cost can be saved and depending on conditions, customs duty as well.

Automated manufacturing lines for high productivity and quality
ASPINA manufactures several products for automotive and medical applications at our Mexico plant, and the main product, our seat ventilation blower, is manufactured in automated assembly lines.

The equipment for this automated line is manufactured in-house, using our advanced process engineering capabilities.
