When Tokyo Roki, an international manufacturer of automotive components, including exhaust emission control systems needed a new production facility, they turned to Alberici, in a design-build joint venture with The Austin Company and Kajima. The project required building a specialized facility in the Santa Fe IV Industrial Park in Silao, Guanajuato, capable of producing catalysts for automotive exhaust systems. The facility needed to accommodate specialized manufacturing processes, including blending raw materials in kilns, followed by a soaking and baking process. The Alberici team had to deliver a turnkey design-build solution that met Tokyo Roki’s unique production requirements and international demand.
