ROME, Ga. — OTR Engineered Solutions (OTR) plans to open a service facility in Monterrey, Mexico — its 32nd such facility worldwide — on Aug. 1.
Located in Apodaca, a city in the Monterrey metropolitan area, OTR said the site "was strategically selected to supply OEM customers with products and services such as tire mounting, sequencing, just-in-time supply and warehousing on a local basis. These value-added services are a specialty of OTR."
The 152,738-sq.-ft. building is comparable in size to OTR's domestic facilities in Fort Worth, Texas, and Rome. In addition to its proximity to strategic OEM customers, the site offers access to main roads and public transportation, helping to attract skilled labor and maximize distribution efficiency, OTR said.
"We're eagerly anticipating the August opening of the Apodaca facility so we can begin working even more closely with multiple OEMs operating in the Monterrey area," Tom Rizzi, president and CEO, said. "This move exemplifies OTR's commitment to customers and dedication to serving our business partners."
OTR Engineered Solutions specializes in off-the-road tire, wheel and track solutions for OEMs and the aftermarket.
OTR said it differentiates itself by providing value-added services such as warehousing, tire mounting and sequencing, among other things.
The firm has partnerships with OEMs covering construction, lawn & garden, powersports, agriculture, forestry, mining, material handling and specialty vehicle markets. OTR's infrastructure comprises 31 facilities and warehouse locations throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia.
