Birmingham Fastener expanded to Mexico by opening a facility in Querétaro City on March 21.
The new facility is intended to help businesses that have commercial, construction or aerospace projects in Mexico localize their supply chain and access inventory quicker.
Commercial and Aerospace Supply de Mexico S. de R.L de C.V. (CASM) will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Birmingham Fastener, with support – including inventory supply – from Alabama Aerospace, Birmingham Fastener’s aerospace and defense branch. CASM will supply both commercial and aerospace parts to the manufacturing, construction, and maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) sectors in Mexico.
“We are excited about Mexico being our first location outside of the U.S.,” stated president and CEO Brad Tinney. “The business and growth environment in Mexico makes it the perfect place to locate.”
Saúl Pedraza leads the CASM team in Querétaro. He has 19 years of fastener experience and most recently served as Birmingham Fastener’s outside representative in Mexico.
“My team and I look forward to providing quality parts to customers here in Mexico at a competitive cost,” stated Pedraza.
CASM will serve a variety of industries across the aerospace and commercial sectors, including renewable energy, space exploration, communications, water works, structural steel fabrication and electrical utilities.
