thyssenkrupp Materials Services is expanding its portfolio of metal and plastics service centers in North America with a new plant in Santa Teresa, New Mexico. The plant will focus on the processing and distribution of metals and serve customers in the United States and Mexico. The expansion is supported by the New Mexico Economic Development Department (EDD), which is providing economic incentives to promote job growth and workforce development in the region. Production will begin in the near term, creating approximately 90 new jobs in the U.S.-Mexico border region.

Copper and Brass Sales, a division of thyssenkrupp Materials North America, has leased an 8,000-square-meter plant for processing metal for components used in power distribution. The company already operates five production centers in North America: Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Atlanta and Saltillo in Mexico. The focus of the metal service center in Santa Teresa is on manufacturing solutions tailored to customer-specific needs. These include complex cutting, kitting and just-in-time services. The new location underscores Copper and Brass Sales' commitment to providing customized, high-quality solutions that improve production processes and reduce lead times.

“Expanding into New Mexico is a strategic move that strengthens our ability to serve power distribution customers across North America and Mexico with greater efficiency and responsiveness,” said James Patsakos, President of Manufacturing Services at thyssenkrupp Materials NA. “Santa Teresa offers the ideal location, infrastructure, and workforce to support our long-term growth while enhancing supply chain resilience for our customers. The support from the State of New Mexico through LEDA and JTIP demonstrates a shared commitment to economic development, and we look forward to building a strong presence in the region as we grow our team and operations.”
