FlexQube receives two orders in Mexico worth 3 Million SEK combined
Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co. KG has placed an order worth 1.85 Million SEK and one other German automotive company orders more than 100 carts at a value of 1.15 Million SEK with FlexQube.
The order for Brose Fahrzeugteile is the first order for carts, to be used in their new plant, that will open during 2018 in Querétaro in central Mexico. The order will be delivered during first half of 2018 and consists of tugger carts for standard North American containers 48 x 45 inch, shelf carts for totes and boxes as well as a mother frame and 200 dollies used in a new concept to transport smaller dollies in size 600 x 400 mm. This new solution called 8 in 1 was developed by FlexQube in the last few months.
The other order for another German automotive supplier is also for a new plant that will open during 2018 in Querétaro, Mexico. The order is for three different variants of FlexQube carts that will be used in this brand-new plant. The carts will be used for material handling and a variety of tugger operations to bring parts and components from the warehouse to different production cells. The order also includes the mother cart concept mentioned above that carries 8 smaller dollies in one cart. This order was partially invoiced and delivered in Q4, 2017 and the rest will be delivered during Q1, 2018.
