Welcome to our 2016/17 Development Plan

You can witness our work program and priorities for the next coming years. On behalf

of Protev Group I am pleased to announce the opening of our new Tool-shop & Office at El Salto Jalisco, Mexico.

Protev Group had undertaken an internal commitment to start up a tool shop for 20-ton mold repairs and developed office space designed to accommodate our customers during their project start or for any operational support to work close on the daily business.

This business decision explains how we will meet our three operational objectives of protecting costumers, promoting competition, and enhance market integrity to meet our overall strategic objective of continuous grows in the NAFTA Region.

We had decidedly expanded our operations first into the middle region of Mexico to serve

our existing base in addition to new customers.

I’d like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our six staff members along with the Protev Group Juarez staff. Your energy and enthusiasm has driven impressive growth across our organization including our ISO 9001:2015 Certification activities.

Thank you to all our members who have supported Protev Group and initiatives. Without your support, none of this would be have been accomplished.

Words from Protev Management

CEO & Managing Director Reiner Bluechel

The new tool shop in Guadalajara is located perfectly in the middle of the industrial area of the city, close to the airport and with good

connections to the main highways of the state. This location guarantees us a fast response time, which is exactly what we need to support our customers in their mostly critical situations.

Our 500 square meters of tooling area together with the annexed offices are well-built into the IMI 2 facility, assuring perfect work conditions for all our machines, tools and of course the staff operating in it.

Furthermore, a 20-ton crane allows us to handle even very large molds and makes us a perfect all-round supplier for every necessity.
