Our newest plant, located in Queretaro Mexico, celebrated our dedication and open house on September 10, 2009. A very large turnout by our customers, suppliers and friends helped us make the event a very successful one! The weather, although threatening rain early, cooperated and allowed us to have much of the festivity outdoors.

 

Peterson American Corporation is pleased and proud to announce the opening of our newest manufacturing facility in Queretaro, Mexico. After 52 years of success and growth in Mexico, we have relocated to a new and larger facility, including full capability in various springs, wire forms, torque rods, frames and frame components, as well as four slide stampings and formings.

We had planned a dedication and open house for April 2009; however, the H1N1 outbreak caused us to have to delay. With the flu outbreak now behind us, we are back on track and have re-scheduled our open house. We are proud of our new site and hope that you will come share in the dedication and see for your self how Peterson leads the way in our market and in the industries we serve.

Please come and share in the event. The date is Thursday, September 10, 2009. Time is from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Executive management for our company will be present and we would be honored for you to share too in the event.

Our address is:
Av. Del Virrey No. 3, Parque Industrial El Marques, Municipio El Marques,
