Essex Brownell's newest facility is set to open in Torreón

Essex Brownell, the material distribution and custom fabrication, announced its latest strategic expansion: a brand-new 72,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility in Torreón, Mexico. Set to be fully operational by early 2026, this location will reportedly serve as the company’s Mexico headquarters and provide faster and local service to customers across Mexico and Latin America.

The Torreon expansion follows key facility upgrades in McDonough, GA, and Reno, NV, marking the third major milestone in Essex Brownell’s recent growth journey.

“Staying in Torreón was always our top option, because of our employees,” said Becky Hunnicutt, VP of Operations and Customer Service, in a July 23 press release. “We already have an exceptional team in Mexico, and they are the cornerstone on which we’re building for this expansion.”

The new location will bring Essex Active fabrication and core business operations together under one roof, enhancing efficiency and expanding the ability to deliver customized solutions at scale. The site will feature 1500 square feet of cold room space to safely hold products that require precise temperature control.

In addition to housing key inventory like magnet wire, the facility will offer the company's full range of advanced fabrication capabilities from die cutting and part forming to laminating and tape slitting.
