BRENTWOOD INDUSTRIES EXPANDS TO TIJUANA MEXICO

Co-Production International  managed Brentwood's expansion into Mexico providing support with site selection, cost analysis evaluation, tenant improvements and the successful establishment of their new clean room facility. CPI also manages Brentwood's daily administrative fuctions under the CPI's Shelter Program.

Brentwood explains that it’s the breadth of their product portfolio that has enabled their geographical expansion. Though their Tijuana facility will focus on thermoformed medial packaging, they also have product applications for industrial batteries, cooling towers, storm water management, transportation, and water and wastewater. To serve customers in all these markets Brentwood already maintains seven US facilities from coast to coast and three international operations located in Thailand, the Czech Republic, and India.

Walter Banta is one of the managing directors of Brentwood’s Specialty Products Group, under which the new Tijuana facility falls. By expanding to Tijuana, Brentwood’s international expansion model aims to deliver value to current and potential customers in their local geographies.

This new site will also provide a critical capability: operational redundancy. Brentwood is confident that adding a new ISO Class 7 clean room environment will offer medical OEMs the security and flexibility required for critical projects.

Brentwood joins over 44 medical device manufacturing companies already in Tijuana. International mainstays such as Care Fusion, Medtronic, DJO International and Greatbatch Medical, amongst others, are a draw for other US manufacturing companieslooking to get closer to their existing customer base.
