NAI Group, a global provider of connectivity solutions for the industrial technology, medical, telecom and data industries, is expanding its North America footprint with a new plant in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico. NAI Group has partnered with Tetakawi, the leading provider of services for foreign manufacturing companies in Mexico, to bring this new operation to fruition.

For its seventh production plant, the company opted to establish a presence in the manufacturing hub of Saltillo.
