ARBURG’s Mexican Subsidiary Under New Leadership

Before joining ARBURG, Julio Lopez held various positions at the Coesia Group, which specialises in highly innovative industrial and packaging solutions in mechanical engineering, including Managing Director in Mexico and Brazil and Chief Sales Officer for North America. As a result, he has many years of extensive experience in sales, business development and corporate management, and throughout his professional career has successfully led international teams, driven growth, and built customer relationships.

As North America’s third-largest economy, Mexico is best known as an industrial production location and a major logistics hub. Despite current global and regional turbulence – particularly in connection with China and the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) – Mexico remains an attractive manufacturing hub for key industries that drive demand in the plastics sector, including automotive, electronics, aerospace, medical devices, packaging, consumer goods, and mechanical engineering. Mexico’s competitive advantages include costs compared to the U.S. and Canada, a highly qualified workforce, a strong industrial base, and close integration with North American supply chains.
