Bradford de Mexico (BdM) , headquartered in Apodaca (Monterrey), Mexico, is opening a new plant in Queretaro this month. The newly constructed building is in El Parque Technologico on a site selected to allow future expansion. It will produce custom returnable / reusable packaging, Work In Process, and one-way shipping solutions for automakers and their suppliers. BdM’s range of products includes steel racks, molded plastic containers of all sizes and custom fabricated totes and paper-based boxes and partitions. The interior packaging is made of formed plastic, metal, foam and textile materials. Along with manufacturing services, the new plant will include a Design Center and a certified package testing laboratory. All Bradford factories are ISO 9001 certified; the registration for Queretaro is scheduled for early 2017.

Bradford de Mexico (BdM) was established in 1997 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bradford Company (headquartered in Holland, Michigan – USA), North America’s largest manufacturer of custom interior returnable/ re-usable packaging for the OEM’s and the Tiers.  This marks Bradford Company’s fourth major facility expansion since 2011 with the others being the establishment of Bradford Canada, along with the expansion of operations in Apodaca and Gallatin, TN.   “This new plant, along with our multiple operations in the USA and Canada, gives us an unmatched footprint in North America and continues our mission “to protect both our customer’s products and reputation,” said Tom Bradford, President and CEO of the five generation family-owned business.
