Automotive and truck aftermarket supplier Black Horse Off Road, Freeport, NY, announced plans to open its first manufacturing plant outside the United States. Its new 48,000-sq.-ft. facility will be located in Mexicali, in Baja California.

“The Covid-19 pandemic triggered a significant disruption in the global supply chain for many of us, and lockdowns and restrictions led to a dramatic shift in consumer demand,” says company president Fadi Ajam. “Factories in China had to be temporarily shut down, shipping costs skyrocketed and delays became rampant. The pandemic exposed risks of over-reliance on single suppliers and lean manufacturing processes.”

To mitigate its dependence on production facilities in China and Vietnam, Ajam made the strategic decision to open a Black Horse Off Road manufacturing plant in Mexico; the company has outsourced several products in Mexico for the past 3 yr.
