Securing a growing manufacturing capacity is imperative following a period of instability in the global supply chain. The new factory is a strategic step to become closer to the North American market by having a more sustainable and flexible approach to supply chain constraints, allowing for cost-effective transportation and an improved supply of products to customers.
"The opening of our new manufacturing site in Mexico is a major milestone for Ambu. Delivering high-quality, innovative products to our customers is our number one priority, and it has been a key focus area during Covid-19 and global supply chain disruptions," says Ambu A/S CEO Britt Meelby Jensen. "Our investment in the new Mexican plant is a strategic decision to secure future production capacity, which will increase our flexibility and proximity to customers in North America and, by that, secure a reliable supply of products."
Manufacturing footprint strengthened in record time
The new manufacturing facility in Mexico was built in less than two years. The foundation stone was laid in March 2021, and the first products — SPUR resuscitators — have been shipped to the U.S. At the plant, Ambu will produce single-use endoscopes within the four major endoscopy segments — pulmonology, urology, ENT, and GI — as well as parts of our anesthesia portfolio. Furthermore, the company anticipates the creation of a total of 2,000-3,000 new jobs as it ramps up production in the coming years.
"We have built this factory in record time. It is the culmination of dedication, determination and focus of our colleagues and external partners to strengthen our manufacturing footprint. Together with our existing factories in China, Malaysia and the U.S., our new Mexico-based plant sets Ambu up for future growth," says Henrik Ankjær, Executive Vice President of Global Operations at Ambu.
Today, Ambu owns and operates manufacturing facilities in China, Malaysia, the U.S., and Mexico, totaling a production space of nearly 1.1 million square feet across continents. On top of that, the new plant holds an additional 215,000 square feet for future expansion.
Ambu USA President Steven Block said the expanded capacity of the new factory will make a tangible difference.
"Demand for single-use endoscopes continues to grow in the U.S., and with the Mexico plant, we will be able to maintain a strengthened supply of medical devices, which will ultimately benefit our customers and their patients – for years to come," Block emphasizes.

John Ehresmann loves that the cost of shipping an ocean container from Asia to a U.S. port or buying a load of lumber has fallen back to earth. Some parts of his supply chain have clearly improved, said the vice president of global supply for Graco Inc, the Minneapolis-based maker of fluid handling equipment such as paint sprayers. "Not having that one micro-controller can still stop you in your path," said Ehresmann, referring to an electronic part common in many of the company's products that remains scarce.

(Reuters) -Some of oilfield service firm Schlumberger's more than 9,000 Russian employees have begun receiving military draft notices through work, and the company is not authorizing remote employment to escape mobilization, according to people familiar with the matter and internal documents. Schlumberger's cooperation with authorities by delivering the military call-ups and its refusal to allow Russian staff to work outside the country has caused a backlash, according to the sources. Russian law requires companies to assist with delivering a summons to employees and to conduct a military registration if at least one of its employees is liable for service, according to advocacy group Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, which tracks corporate performance on human rights issues.
