Comprehensive Plasma know-how for many industries

Mexico is home to numerous industries that have experienced major growth over the past decade and to which plasma technology can bring great benefits: automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical and packaging. However, the two most important are the automotive and electronics industries. Here, Plasmatreat is already helping to improve efficiency and environmental friendliness in numerous processes worldwide with its innovative technologies and has acquired extensive know-how from which companies based in Mexico can now also benefit directly.

Growing domestic market Mexico

Mexico is one of the most competitive countries for industrial investment in the world due to numerous factors, finds Gerardo De La Cruz, Managing Director of Plasmatreat Mexico: "In addition to the strategically favorable geographic location and a strong domestic market, companies here benefit from competitive costs and a young, motivated workforce." The electrical engineer's career has included experience in the electronics industry and he is available to customers and interested parties as a competent contact for unresolved material issues. The subsidiary in Querétaro consists of several offices, meeting facilities, and various plasma equipment and systems to allow demonstrations and analysis on-site at the office or directly at the customer's facility.

The team of 4 people covers all the important areas. Gerardo De La Cruz is the managing director, Ulices Carrillo Contreras is responsible for sales, Diego Raul Gallegos is in charge of service and application technology, and Natalia-Soledad Zicari is responsible for administration. With a wealth of knowledge and experience in their respective fields, the Plasmatreat México team is well-positioned to introduce customers and prospects to plasma technology for various applications.

Close cooperation with partners in Mexico

Plasmatreat has also been active in Mexico for many years with various trading partners and agents. The business relationship with the Mexican partners ASSELEC remains unaffected despite the foundation of Plasmatreat Mexico. The cooperation will even be extended and expanded. Together, existing customers and plasma systems and equipment throughout the country will be serviced, and if detailed questions arise, Plasmatreat’s Gerardo De La Cruz will also be on hand to provide advice and assistance to agents and partners. "The handling of the Mexican market is thus well covered, and we can also fall back on the resources and expertise of the branches in the USA and Canada at any time."
