Werner Company launches new venture into Mexico

Werner Company, the world's leading manufacturer and distributor of ladders, climbing equipment and ladder accessories, announced August 31 that it is entering the Mexican market by launching a full line of products designed specifically for Mexico. Werner will serve the Mexican market through its new subsidiary company, Werner Ladder Sales & Distribution S. de R.L. de C.V., located in Juarez, Mexico.

In addition to producing most of its climbing products for the Mexican market in its Juarez facilities, Werner has a dedicated Mexican Customer Service Department located in Juarez, as well as a Sales Office in Monterrey, Mexico to better service Mexican customers in all distribution channels. Capitalizing on the fact that it already has the world's largest, and most state-of-the-art, ladder manufacturing facility in the world in Juarez, the Mexican offices will allow Werner to work closely with its new customers in all distribution channels, and strengthen its presence in North America.

"Werner is excited to be able to bring not only a full product line, but multiple brands to this key market," said Chris Filardi, senior vice president of marketing for Werner Co. "By offering multiple brands, it gives Werner the opportunity to help our customers enhance their profits and grow sales in the ladder category. We know how important the Mexican market is, and look forward to continuing the Werner tradition of safety, innovation and quality, coupled with unparalleled customer service."
