Leon, Mexico – Dutch tire machinery maker VMI has opened a new service facility in Leon, to support the company's growing installed base in the country.
The opening ceremony was attended by Fonseca, subsecretary of the state; Rodríguez, deputy mayor of Leon; and Harm Voortman, CEO of VMI Group, said the company 8 Oct.
The event also included a customer seminar showcasing VMI’s latest tire building and tire component preparation solutions.
The facility includes a drum workshop and is designed to meet sustainability standards covering waste management and energy use, according to VMI.

The opening follows the ‘recent launch’ of VMI's sales and support office in Yokohama, Japan, which the Dutch company described as an ‘important market’.
