Cabopol Expands into North America
Cabopol Polymer Compounds, a Portuguese leader in thermoplastic and crosslinked compounds, announced the launch of its Cabopol Monterrey Mexico production unit. This new facility marks the company’s first manufacturing operation in the Americas and represents a major step in its global expansion plan.
Strengthening Presence in the Americas
The new plant sits in the heart of Monterrey’s industrial zone and spans 10,000 square meters. Cabopol expects the facility to begin operations by the end of the year. This investment will expand the company’s global footprint and bring production closer to customers across North and South America.
Cutting-Edge Equipment and Scalable Capacity
Cabopol will equip the Monterrey plant with modern machinery and advanced compounding technology. The site will start with two production lines, offering 25,000 tons of annual capacity. As demand grows, the company can easily expand operations.
In addition, the facility will produce high-quality polymer compounds at a competitive cost, reinforcing Cabopol’s reputation for innovation and performance.
Focused on Wire, Cable, and Automotive Markets
In its initial phase, Cabopol will focus on wire and cable compounds for the automotive industry. This new capacity will strengthen supply chains, reduce lead times, and improve service for customers in Mexico and across the Americas.
Meanwhile, the company plans to broaden production over time. It aims to offer solutions for additional industrial sectors and meet evolving customer needs in a growing global market.
Building on Global Success
“This new facility represents a key milestone for Cabopol,” said Anselmo Mendes, Sales Director at Cabopol. “We are excited to better serve our customers and contribute to Mexico’s economy. This expansion paves the way for long-term growth in the region.”
Cabopol already operates successful production units in Portugal, Serbia, and Morocco. With the Monterrey facility, the company continues to grow its global manufacturing network and strengthen its position as a trusted polymer compound supplier.
