Stahl has relocated and opened its enhanced Center of Excellence for Leather Finishing and Performance Coatings in León, Mexico. According to the company, the center —part of Stahl’s global network of more than 30 application labs, 10 Centers of Excellence and 15 manufacturing facilities — features a more complete customer experience, from multi-substrate design support and application development to testing and training.
“Mexico is an important market for Stahl, with a strong base of automotive, fashion and footwear customers,” said Maarten Heijbroek, CEO of Stahl. “By investing in this enhanced facility, we are staying close to where our customers are and giving them access to the very best technologies, people and expertise. This is a clear example of how we are growing with purpose, to better serve our partners today and tomorrow.”
This strategic investment follows a series of recent expansions, including the doubling of capacity in China; a new production facility in Ranipet, India; a Center of Excellence in Apex, North Carolina; a new laboratory in Japan, and a new PUD facility in Singapore.
