EFC International, a supplier of engineered fasteners based in St. Louis, Missouri recently announced the expansion of its global presence with the establishment of a new office and warehouse in Queretaro under the subsidiary EFC Global, S de RL de CV.

“Our recently established legal entity and operations in Mexico, including a warehouse in Queretaro, outside sales engineers, customer service and support staff in Mexico, enables EFC to enhance our service level in the region. We’re able to respond more quickly and hold inventory in closer proximity to our customer base. We also are positioned to act as a key channel partner into Mexico for our strategic partner suppliers,” said the company in a statement.

This new addition will help EFC “to mitigate supply chain risks and improve local service,” said Mary Becker, Vice President of North American Sales.
