Injection molding machine maker Netstal has founded a subsidiary in Santiago de Querétaro, Mexico.
The company is taking over the existing employees and Netstal business operations of iTech Latinoamérica, which previously represented the brand in Mexico as an independent agency, and is operating in that company’s premises under the name Netstal Máquinas, S. de R.L. de C.V.
José Lelo de Larrea, who co-founded iTech Latinoamérica, is managing director of the Mexican Netstal subsidiary. iTech’s other co-founding partners, Rod Selem and Irineu Scalisse, will serve as business and technical advisors for Netstal in the region.
Nadeem Amin, president of Netstal Americas, said in a statement, “This step allows us to better serve our customers by leveraging the exceptional expertise of our new team members in PET, closures, packaging and medical applications.”
Netstal Maschinen AG, based in Näfels, Switzerland, is a company of Krones AG.
