New facility in Mexico for Canadian manufacturer
Canada’s Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) has announced that it will begin construction of an additional boat manufacturing plant in Chihuahua City, Mexico.
BRP says the purpose of the new facility is to increase its manufacturing capacity and capabilities to meet demand for its marine products, and fuel the growth of the business.
“In light of our recent product launches that are revolutionising the boating experience, including the industry award-winning Manitou pontoon, we want to position the business for success to meet consumer demand for our products, be more efficient, and drive market share gains,” says Karim Donnez, president, marine group at BRP.
“Our relentless focus on innovation and steady growth in the Marine category make this additional capacity necessary to launch game-changing boating experiences and achieve our Marine business strategy for 2025.”
Production for the CA$220M facility is planned to start in early 2025 and it is expected to create 1,300 new jobs.
