Guadalajara, Jalisco - March 5, 2026 – Nefab, a global provider of industrial packaging and logistics solutions, has expanded its operations in Guadalajara with a new 3,000-square-meter (32,300-square-foot) production and engineering facility, strengthening support for advanced manufacturing and digital infrastructure industries across western Mexico.
The expansion marks the launch of Nefab’s advanced engineering center in Guadalajara, combining packaging design, testing, prototyping, and production capabilities on a single campus. The engineering center will serve customers across Mexico and the Americas.
Unlike traditional packaging production sites, the Guadalajara campus will include advanced testing and prototyping capabilities, enabling engineers to simulate real-world transport conditions and validate packaging performance before equipment is shipped.
“Guadalajara has become one of the most important technology and manufacturing hubs in Mexico,” said Eric Wickman, Nefab's Regional Managing Director for Latin America. “As investments grow in areas such as AI and data center infrastructure, packaging requirements are becoming more complex. Expanding our engineering capabilities locally allows us to support customers with faster development cycles and more specialized packaging solutions.”
Located in one of Mexico’s most dynamic technology and manufacturing hubs, the facility supports companies operating in digital infrastructure, electronics, healthcare, semiconductors, automotive, and broader industrial sectors, where packaging must protect high-value and sensitive products moving through global supply chains.
“Advanced testing allows us to recreate the stresses products experience across global logistics routes,” said Guilherme Ueda, Engineering & Innovation Manager, Latin America at Nefab. “That level of validation is critical for protecting complex equipment such as server racks, electronics, and other high-value technology.”
The expansion is expected to create 60 new engineering, technical, and production roles within the first year.
The strengthened Guadalajara campus builds on Nefab’s recent regional investments. In 2025, the company launched a thin-gauge thermoformed packaging operation integrating in-house design, production, and recycling of reusable and recyclable packaging systems.
