Factory closures not the end of the line for Crocs in Mexico
27/03/2019
The factory, which will be operated by subsidiary Foam Creations, will employ around 600 people. The parent group has invested a reported $4 million in the site.
Among the clients for materials made there will be US footwear group Crocs, which in 2018 announced it would close all its company-owned manufacturing sites in Mexico and in Italy. Production has instead been shifted to third-parties, primarily in Asia.
The Foam Creations plant is based at the Stiva industrial park, near to where Crocs’s own manufacturing facility was. Local media reports have said a significant proportion of the workers at the new plant will be made up of former Crocs employers. Materials for other North American footwear manufacturers will be made there as well.
