UPM Raflatac to open slitting facility in Mexico

The terminal is scheduled to begin operations by the end of 2014, and will supply both paper and film labelstocks to customers in Guadalajara and western Mexico.

This new terminal will allow UPM Raflatac to improve its service capabilities and offer an expanded range of products to the Mexican market. The Guadalajara terminal will complement UPM Raflatac’s existing slitting and distribution terminal in Mexico City.

Jose Garcia, sales director and general manager of UPM Raflatac’s operations in Mexico and Central America, said: ‘Opening a terminal in Guadalajara is an important step for us. We will be able to expand our delivery network in western Mexico and provide those customers with an even broader range of high-quality products backed by responsive and committed service.’
