Leading international specialty chemicals distributor, Safic-Alcan, has announced that its North American subsidiary, ChemSpec Ltd., has formed a subsidiary to service the Mexican industrial manufacturing sector.

“This move aligns with Safic-Alcan's overall strategy of growing its presence across the NAFTA Region,” said Dave Moreland, ChemSpec President. “Further, ChemSpec has always done its best to follow market trends so that we can better service our customer-base. Over the past several years, many manufacturing companies of various sorts have opened-up production locations in regions throughout northern and central Mexico, and in turn, more and more of our customers have asked us to support their Mexican operations.”

In order to support this new office Chemspec has hired its first employee, Manuel Cortés, who will be ChemSpec Mexico's Sales & Marketing Manager. Manuel comes to ChemSpec with a depth of experience in rubber and other forms of industrial compounding production. Manuel is fluent in both Spanish and English.
