Fersa Opens Its First Plant in Nuevo León

Fersa has begun operations at its new production plant located in the FINSA Apodaca Industrial Park in Nuevo León, marking the company’s first production facility in North America and strengthening its ability to serve customers in Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

The factory began operations in late July 2026 with a production line for tapered roller bearings, designed specifically for heavy-duty automotive applications. In this initial phase, the facility has an approximate annual production capacity of 500.00 sets.

The location is part of the Spanish company's strategy to integrate its production with North American markets and reduce its dependence on imports from other regions. According to Fersa, the local operation improves supply continuity and enables a more agile response to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), Tier 1 suppliers, and aftermarket customers.

The plant is part of Fersa's roadmap for developing its industrial capabilities in North America. The company expects to add, by the end of 2026, a clutch actuator assembly line with a capacity of 5,000 units per month.

By 2027, the plan calls for adding a second production line with specifications similar to the current one. This would bring bearing production capacity to approximately one million sets per year, in addition to the production of clutch actuators.

The expansion will enable the company to gradually increase its local production capacity and expand its product offerings for heavy-duty automotive applications in the region. The factory’s production staff was hired locally and received specialized training at Fersa’s facilities in Spain prior to the start of operations. In addition, process teams from Spain participated in the plant’s installation and commissioning phases.

The company emphasized that this support enabled it to align the industrial launch with its global production and quality standards.

For Fersa, the opening of the facility in Apodaca represents a step forward in its strategy to build a more flexible, competitive, and resilient supply chain, while also strengthening its proximity to customers in North America.

With its first production plant now operational in the region, the company is building local industrial capacity that includes new production lines scheduled for 2026 and 2027.
