GUAYMAS, MEXICO – Libra Industries has acquired a contract manufacturing facility here formerly run by Benchmark Electronics, according to reports. Libra Guaymas will be Libra’s fifth plant and first international operation.

The 52,000 sq. ft. plant previously was operated by Benchmark Electronics and makes complex assemblies and subassemblies for customers in the aerospace/defense, medical, semiconductor and industrial end-markets. Benchmark had slated the site for closure this year.

"The facility is complementary to our current operations in Ohio and Texas and will help Libra accelerate its growth strategy by providing customers with more technical capabilities," said Rod Howell, CEO of Libra. "Our goal is to provide customers with a full suite of capabilities and be a trusted partner for all of their outsourced manufacturing needs. This investment further helps us achieve that strategy."

Financial terms were not disclosed.
