Ramos Arizpe, Mexico – H&S Anlagentechnik has supplied a tank farm to foam maker Ikano at its Mexican site. The 78ha facility makes mattresses for Ikea's Latin American market.
The new storage capacity is built on a modular design. It allows Ikano to purchase raw materials cost-effectively in larger quantities and provides a certain independence of raw material price fluctuations, H&S said.
'We are very proud to support our long-standing business partner Ikano Industry in this expansion project in Mexico,' said Mila Skokova, sales & product manager at H&S.
Ikano announced that it had acquired the site in the new Parque Industrial Chuy Maria Coahuila in 2019. At the time, the company said it expected to have 100,000m2 production, warehouse and office space built by 2020.
