 FREMONT, CA — CA-based EMS provider Victron Inc. expanded into a new manufacturing facility in Rosarito, Mexico. The company also plans to open facilities in China and the U.S.

The Mexico facility went from concept phase to fully operational status in four months, said Todd Lovejoy, COO, adding that the Mexico site will offer alternative business strategies and allow the EMS provider’s Fremont, CA site to expand its system integration, product fulfillment, and logistics services.

Victron’s 30,000 sq.ft. Rosarito facility offers PCB assembly, in-circuit testing (ICT), functional testing, and sub-system and final system integration to its OEM customers in the medical, industrial, and other markets.

Victron used a copy/exact approach to manufacturing processes and equipment sets, hiring a highly experienced local workforce and implementing established ISO 9001, 14001, and 13485 quality systems. Proximity to the San Diego border was another reason for selecting Rosarito. Product will reach Victron’s Fremont plant in one to two days for final product fulfillment to customers in the United States. They plan to grow operations in Mexico, said Marty Crow, VP of manufacturing and engineering, adding another 30,000 sq.ft. at the same location by the end of this year.
