Due to increased production demands in all segments of its business, ML Industries President and CEO, Mickey Dunn, announced on January 29th that ML Industries will add 30,000 square feet of manufacturing floor space to its Francisco I. Madero plant. The current 120,000 square foot facility is located 20 minutes northeast of Torreon and employs approximately 2,200 Associates. The expansion is slated to be completed by June 1, 2016.


According to Dunn, this addition will allow for selected airbag consolidation as well as better prepare MLI for significant long-term growth coming in mid-2016. “We are very excited about this expansion as it helps address double-digit growth that we will experience in both 2016 and 2017. We are also planning a similar expansion of our San Pedro plant for the fourth quarter of 2016 or the first quarter of 2017.” ML Industries forecasts employment to grow from 4,500 associates to over 5,500 associates by the end of 2016.

ML Industries is a 26 year-old company with manufacturing operations in north and north central Mexico.
