New aerosol plant opened by Unilever

Unilever has opened a new state-of-the-art aerosol plant in Mexico.

The new factory will accelerate the growth agenda in North and Central America – and will double the national production of deodorants. It will supply markets in Mexico, the US, Canada, Central America, the Caribbean and Colombia.

The plant has its own solar energy production, water collection and recycling systems, and will be a model of sustainable practices for future plants built elsewhere.

President Felipe Calderon opened the new facility together with Unilever CEO Paul Polman, who reiterated Unilever’s commitment to the development and economic growth of Mexico. With an initial investment of €100 million (US$142.6M) over a three year period, the plant has the potential to produce over half a billion aerosols per year.

Paul Polman, CEO Unilever, said: “The Americas is a very important region for Unilever, and Mexico is a key part. We have a long history in Mexico and we have a strong commitment to its future, its growth and economic development. This new factory is another example of Unilever’s vision in action – to double the size of our business whilst reducing the environmental impact.“

Fabio Prado, president of Unilever Mexico, added: “This project could not have been possible without the effort of our operative and administrative staff which was highly trained in different countries all over the world. In Unilever we have placed our trust in Mexico, and its economic and social development. Through this new plant Unilever will create 1,700 direct and indirect jobs. With over 40 years of operations in this country, we are very happy to reassure our commitment for long-term investment,” concluded Prado.
