MAFESA plant in Mexico
Electro-Mechanical, LLC is expanding its presence in Bristol and Mexico to improve efficiencies and to support the launch of new products.
Early steps for this expansion include relocating its Mexico-based manufacturing arm, MAFESA, to a new, larger site. The new 106,000 square-foot facility will provide MAFESA with additional square footage for manufacturing and distribution space for low and medium-voltage transformers.
In addition, the MAFESA expansion will provide Federal Pacific, a division of Electro-Mechanical, with additional manufacturing space to improve production capabilities in Bristol, VA. These changes will allow Electro-Mechanical to increase capacity to meet growing demand for pad-mounted switchgear and introduce innovative, smart technology for the renewable energy market.

Increases are being seen in low and medium-voltage transformers, as well as in pad-mounted switchgear,” says COO Mike Stollings. “Beyond the growth in our Mexico facility, this move paves the way for significant production expansion and hiring at our Bristol facilities.”
