FACTORIA INDUSTRIAL SA DE CV

What FACTORIA INDUSTRIAL SA DE CV does

Factoria Industrial SA de CV is a privately held contract manufacturing and supply chain services provider founded in June 1989 by Sergio Mendoza and headquartered in the Complejo Industrial Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico. The company supports multinational automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers — including Ford, Visteon, Delphi, Brugola, American Axle, Lear, Yazaki, Denso, Continental Automotive, and ThyssenKrupp, alongside electronics and aerospace accounts such as Jabil Circuit and Forrest City Technologies — with a portfolio that includes shared-resources manufacturing, vendor-managed inventory (VMI), returnable packaging management, sorting and containment (acting as authorized CS2 agents for Ford and Visteon), warehousing and just-in-time logistics, parts inspection and rework, engineering representation, and personnel outsourcing.

The company's technical platform centers on EDI-based integration with customer systems, a web-based portal providing real-time inventory and work order reporting (cs.factoria.com), and kanban-driven returnable packaging loops holding customer-side inventory below one day of stock. Operations are certified to IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 quality standards, with an on-site metrology lab supporting part quality verification. The most prominent operational benchmark is the Brugola OEB VMI program, which ships 65M+ pieces annually at a 12-month PPM of 3 and is reported to deliver over $400k in annual space and inventory savings per customer.

Factoria generates revenue through negotiated, project-based multi-year contracts sold via direct enterprise field sales to automotive and industrial buyers. The go-to-market motion is relationship-driven and anchored in the Chihuahua maquiladora cluster, with no public pricing or self-serve channels. The company maintains roughly 240 employees across its Chihuahua operations, is privately held with no external institutional investors identified, and operates as the Mexican anchor partner of the BM Castings joint venture (Italian die casting technology). Geographic footprint is concentrated in Mexico, with an implicit U.S. interface via El Paso, Texas-based customer relationships.
