The new facility houses state-of-the-art offices, application laboratories and testing capabilities, reflecting&nbsp;Stahl\u2019s commitment to delivering advanced, lower-impact products closer to customers across Latin America.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1iv520mh40\">This strategic investment follows a series of recent expansions, including the doubling of capacity in China, a new production facility in Ranipet, India, a Center of Excellence in Apex, USA, a new laboratory in Japan and a new PUD facility in Singapore. With a significantly larger footprint than the previous Le\u00f3n facility, the upgraded center offers a more complete customer experience, from multi-substrate design support and application development to testing and training.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1iv520mha0\">\u201cMexico is an important market for&nbsp;Stahl, with a strong base of automotive, fashion and footwear customers,\u201d said Maarten Heijbroek, CEO of&nbsp;Stahl. \u201cBy investing in this enhanced facility, we are staying close to where our customers are and giving them access to the very best technologies, people and expertise. This is a clear example of how we are growing with purpose, to better serve our partners today and tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1iv520mhg0\">The Le\u00f3n site is part of&nbsp;Stahl\u2019s global network of more than 30 application labs, 10 Center of Excellence and 15 manufacturing facilities. It supports the development of high-performance coatings and finishes for industries including footwear, apparel, automotive and home interiors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1iv520mhn0\">Saul Rios, Managing Director of&nbsp;Stahl&nbsp;LATAM, added: \u201cThis new regional capability strenghtens our customer intimate business model. Here we can directly collaborate with our customers and brands, speed up our customer\u2019s innovations and deliver according to regional needs. Our focus remains on co-creating products that touch lives, while always contributing to a better world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1iv520mhv0\">Guests at the inauguration joined a guided tour of the new facility\u2019s main stations, including showrooms for Shoe &amp; Leather Goods, Automotive interior and Performance Coatings, the Leather Finishing laboratory, a dedicated testing lab and the on-site&nbsp;Stahl&nbsp;Campus\u00ae classroom.
