LS Constructing State of the Art Manufacturing Facility, Export Hub for Busway in Mexico

June 1, 2024 - LS recently announced it is expanding its manufacturing capabilities with the construction of a new manufacturing plant in Queretaro, Mexico. This state-of-the-art facility will specialize in producing large capacity busway systems for both the US and international markets. The new plant will be located on a 126,000㎡ site in the industrial complex of Queretaro State in central Mexico with a total floor area of 16,800㎡. Construction will begin in the second half of this year and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2025. "With this strategic move, LS Cable & System is increasing our production capacity to ensure faster delivery times and greater efficiency in meeting the growing demands of our customers," says Harry Han, head of Busway.

"The North American busway market is growing rapidly with large-scale data centers, semiconductors, electric vehicles, and battery factories," an LS Cable & System official said. "We expect sales to reach $100 million by 2030."
