Balluff Grand Opening of Production Facility in Aguascalientes, Mexico

Leave a comment

[ad_1]

Creating perspectives
As a fourth-generation family business, Balluff plans ahead. “One of the guiding principles at Balluff is: we think and act today for tomorrow,” explains Nonnenmann. “Our strategies are always future-oriented – in terms of economic efficiency and the environment, technology and product quality, but above all in terms of the people in our company. In this way, we can offer our employees and our business partners and customers a long-term and sustainable perspective.” Anyone who starts at Balluff can make a career here.

The company’s management is also local – Edgar Gonzalez, who has called Aguascalientes home for many years, leads the new operation site. Currently, Balluff has 70 employees in Aguascalientes, but that number will increase quickly. The plan is to have 100 people on the team by the end of the year – and 700 by 2027 at the latest. Balluff offers modern working environments, the latest production technology, and an energy-efficient technical infrastructure. The installation of a 500 kWp photovoltaic system on the roof of the production and logistics hall is underway. This will enable the site to cover about a third of its needs with its own electricity in the future. Balluff expects to save around 350 tons of carbon dioxide per year.

Steady expansion and strong team spirit
Following the successful start of production, Balluff will gradually expand manufacturing in Aguascalientes: Additional assembly lines for sensor and network technology for the American market will follow. Gonzalez is looking forward to the new tasks and is confident of a smooth production start-up: “In the past months, we have already been able to experience how well the international cooperation between the various Balluff locations works and we have benefitted from the experience of our colleagues.” Teams of experts from Hungary, China, and Germany trained the employees in Mexico before the start of production. Gonzalez emphasizes, “Our colleagues have worked very hard for us. We clearly felt the special Balluff family spirit: everyone working together.”

Balluff is starting in Aguascalientes with a production area of 7,000 m² and the option to expand this if required. The space for this has already been reserved. For the sensor and automation specialist, the establishment of the Mexican production site is a milestone and just one of several major projects this year – Balluff is significantly optimizing its own production network this year. In addition to the Aguascalientes project, the company has significantly expanded its production sites in Veszprém, Hungary, and Chengdu, China. With the expansion of production capacities in three regions, Balluff is creating the conditions for more stable global supply chains, shortened delivery times, and advanced sustainability.

About the company Balluff
Founded in 1921 in Neuhausen a. d. F., Balluff with its 3900 employees worldwide stands for innovative technology, quality, and cross-industry experience in industrial automation. As a leading sensor and automation specialist, the fourth-generation family-owned company offers a comprehensive portfolio of high-quality sensor, identification, network, and software solutions.

401GO Among the First to Offer Employer Match Roth 401(k) Option

Leave a comment

[ad_1]

401GO, a leading fintech retirement provider, is excited to announce the introduction of a new employer match Roth 401(k) option to their platform.

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — 401GO, a leading fintech retirement provider, is excited to announce the introduction of a new employer match Roth 401(k) option to their platform. This new offering is set to provide employers with another way to mitigate tax liability and build retirement assets.

Previously, employers utilized pre-tax funds to match their employees’ 401(k) contributions, requiring these funds to be deposited into a pre-tax account. The SECURE Act 2.0 has ushered in a change that allows employers to provide matching contributions directly to their employees’ Roth 401(k) , increasing their option for tax-free withdrawals upon retirement.

This is a substantial change that the industry has struggled to adopt due to technology and software limitations. Ahead of competitors, 401GO can already accommodate employer Roth contributions and track them within its platform.

Ted Haase, CRO at 401GO, expressed excitement about this update: “Our ability to offer this provision at such an early date is a testament to our superior technology. We’ve prioritized the development of a powerful yet nimble recordkeeping system, allowing us to make updates like this with ease. This provision will help millions of workers accelerate their after-tax savings and investment growth. We’re excited to be among the first to provide it.”

The introduction of employer Roth contributions confirms 401GO’s commitment to innovation and excellence in the retirement industry. For more information about this new option and how it can benefit your workforce, please visit 401GO.com.

About 401GO:

401GO is a prominent fintech provider specializing in retirement planning solutions for individuals, businesses, and financial advisors. With a dedication to making retirement planning user-friendly and accessible, 401GO offers a range of innovative products and services to help individuals secure their financial future.
