Not all countries can boast that they have a manufacturing center of this company, but Mexico is one of those places where Turck decided to invest and in 22 years it has been growing at a breakneck pace and already has in Arteaga, Nuevo Leon, with a complex that houses 1,200 employees, plus a sales force and distributors throughout the country. In Germany alone, its native country and where its headquarters are located, in addition to the United States, China, recently Poland and of course Mexico, Turck has relied on expanding its operations with its own manufacturing plants.
This company provides solutions that have evolved over the years, began as one specializing in connectivity thanks to its cables, sensors and inductive very robust use and special applications, but today its offer was extended to automation, and its engineers and technicians accompany their customers with equipment for remote inputs and outputs, with PLC and PLC with visualization, which are able to close the entire cycle from the sensor to the cloud, thanks to its field devices and modules that allow decisions from remote positions in case anywhere in the world.
Turck, explains its commercial general manager, Javier Peña, has a wide range of options to serve both huge customers with massive productions such as automotive, to Mexican OEMs that start from modest dimensions and develop their capabilities in order to be able to produce more in the same time. "Mexico is a manufacturing country par excellence, and for this we serve customers in oil & gas, in the food industry, in petrochemicals, and in automotive we are leaders in North America and of course in Europe, but we are also proud to accompany Mexican companies that are gradually developing their own technology".
Support all along the way
The way in which this German company interacts not only in the original project but also in the after-sales service – one of its strengths thanks to the fact that it deploys hundreds of consultants and technicians in Mexico, is in several dimensions, as engineer Peña explains. "We have a complex support scheme, visits to plants to work on improvements, and even consignment equipment plans so that they can refurbish their machines without having to make large investments.”
But not only that, in the plant itself they do tests with the businessmen, their engineers and operators to suggest improvements, working with samples for continuous improvement. "It is an integral service, not only of solutions and high technology but of after-sales support so that what they buy can be refurbished, although Turck is famous for having robust products, so the refurbishment is not very high, the Germans are leaders in technology and durable equipment."
In this way Turck expects all attendees at FABTECH Mexico to come to the demonstration of their new products and check live their IO-Link systems, cloud solutions, modular machines and of course the wide range of sensors, buses, interfaces, cables, boxes, rolls and everything that makes life easier for companies committed to increase their productivity and quality.
