We have officially begun motor production at our new facility in Puebla, Mexico. This is a milestone we have worked toward for some time, and it feels good to share it. OMI Puebla is built for efficiency and scale. We project capacity at 400,000 units per year starters, Bendix drives, and a full range of DC motor lines for Powersports and industrial applications. 

This isn't just another plant. It's a closer connection to the people we serve. 

Closer to Our Customers, Stronger Supply Chain 

Puebla puts us where our customers need us. The location provides direct access to major ports, highways, and distribution corridors across North America. This isn't just about logistics. It's about strengthening our OEM manufacturing services. We leverage the region's established supplier network to deliver faster and build a more resilient supply chain. 

That matters to the partners who count on us.When your production schedule depends on parts arriving on time, distance is not a detail. It's a risk. We built Puebla to take that risk off the table.

Our Mexico–China Strategy: Quality Without the Tariff Cost 

Our dual Mexico–China model for OEM manufacturing services keeps us competitive. We hold the line on quality while reducing or eliminating tariff costs for North American customers. Together, our facilities now span more than 200,000 sq. ft. across the USA, Mexico, and China. 

The benefit isn't abstract. It's lower landed cost and steadier supply, every quarter. 

Local Talent and On-Site R&D 

A facility is only as strong as the people running it. We built our Puebla team in partnership with the Instituto Tecnologico de Monterrey and local universities. From day one, they hit demanding production targets. Not eventually. Day one. 

We also placed a dedicated R&D center inside the facility, focused on product development, process optimization, and quality assurance. That means we adapt quickly as your needs change. Design and production sit under one roof, so we move faster on the problems that matter to you.
