Netstal has founded its own subsidiary in Mexico for sales and customer service with immediate effect. The new company is based in Santiago de Querétaro. Netstal is taking over the existing employees and Netstal business operations of iTech Latinoamérica, which previously represented the brand in Mexico as an independent agency. With this step Netstal is expanding its personnel capacities in the important Mexican market. Customers will benefit from competent consulting and comprehensive services right from the start.
The newly founded company has been operating under the name Netstal Máquinas, S. de R.L. de C.V. in the premises of the former iTech Latinoamérica in Santiago de Querétaro since January 14, 2025. Netstal Mexico, a subsidiary of Netstal Maschinen AG, Switzerland, has successfully employed the talented team from iTech Mexico into its operations. Furthermore, the owners of iTech have independently decided to cease operations indefinitely by dissolving their company. The new Netstal Mexico team comprises 7 employees in the areas of sales, customer service and administration. José Lelo de Larrea has been entrusted with the management of the Mexican Netstal subsidiary. He co-founded iTech Latinoamérica in 2010 and successfully built up iTech as a managing partner. Since 2023, the company has been the official representative for Netstal in the strategically important Mexican market. iTech’s co-founding partners, Rod Selem and Irineu Scalisse will continue to play a valuable role as business and technical advisors for Netstal in the region.
Renzo Davatz, CEO: “In line with our strategy, with this step we are further expanding the global Netstal organization under the umbrella of Krones. Following the opening of Netstal Dubai in 2024, we are establishing the next subsidiary in the growth market of Mexico. I would like to welcome all new employees in Mexico to the global Netstal team and wish José Lelo de Larrea every success in his new role as Managing Director.”
Nadeem Amin, President Netstal Americas: “We’re excited to expand our presence in Mexico with the establishment of our new subsidiary. This step allows us to better serve our customers by leveraging the exceptional expertise of our new team members in PET, closures, packaging and medical applications. With our cutting-edge injection molding machine technology and best-in-class services, we are committed to helping our customers maximize production efficiency and achieve their goals. I’m thrilled to collaborate with José Lelo de Larrea and his talented team as we continue to deliver outstanding solutions tailored to our customers’ needs.”
José Lelo de Larrea, Managing Director Netstal Mexico: “I am thankful to Renzo, Nadeem and the Netstal management team for depositing their trust in me and my colleagues to lead this new chapter for Netstal Mexico. We are very excited about this endeavor where we will dedicate our experience focusing completely on bringing our valued customers full local commercial and technical support.
