Domico recently launched production with 30 employees and 23,000 sq. ft. at Entrada’s manufacturing campus in Celaya, Guanajuato, concluding a two-year search for the right location, business model and partner in Mexico.

Faced with competitive pressures and the need to ensure long-term labor availability, Domico explored various manufacturing locations across Mexico.
