SSOE Mexico
Mexico Market
Mexico has a dynamic economy with strong growth prospects
SSOE actively markets new clients and migrates existing clients from the U.S.
SSOE Mexico Strengths
Faster action / reaction
International and Mexican norms on designs and specs
Understanding and applying local design / construction methods
Knowledge of the language
Vince’s note:
SSOE is in 6 different countries (not including the US) in various stages of development. China, India, and Mexico are “push” countries. The economy is dynamic and we feel the growth prospects are strong. We actively market new clients and migrate existing clients from the US. We have operations in place with SSOE direct employees. In Brazil, Malaysia, and Canada we classify them as “pull” countries. If we have an existing client that wants to build in that country we have JV partners and licenses to perform work in those countries, but we do not have standing operations and do not actively market new clients.
Main Goals
Serve as a local representative for Michelin
Mexico point of contact: Erick Kuri

Plastic Injection Molding Plant: Inergy Fuel Tank Manufacturing Facility
Inergy Automotive Systems
Van Buren, Michigan
Inergy asked SSOE to team with Lathrop (GC) to build an injection molding industrial building for the production of plastic injection molded gasoline fuel tanks. SSOE provided engineering and design for the entire facility from ground leveling and degrubbing to steel and architectural service to full mechanical, electrical and plumbing designs. SSOE provided a rail road spur design that would deliver the resins via bulk rail car.
Adjacent to the production facility there was a logistics area as well as a warehouse. SSOE provided the entire design for the utility generation equipment with chilled and hot water, compressed air, electrical 15kva and distribution design and fluidized resin transfer from the storage facility near bulk resin off load rail spur.

Railroad spur and loading / unloading station for resin
Inergy had asked that SSOE team with Lathrop (General Contractor) to build a 350,000 SF injection molding industrial building for the production of plastic injection molded gasoline fuel tanks. The project was to be located on a greenfield site location in Van Buren Township, Michigan. SSOE provided engineering and design for the entire facility from ground leveling and degrubbing to steel and architectural service to full mechanical, electrical and plumbing designs. SSOE provided a rail road spur design that would deliver the resins via bulk rail car. Adjacent to the production facility there was a logistics area as well as a warehouse. SSOE provided the entire design for the utility generation equipment with chilled and hot water, compressed air, electrical 15kva and distribution design and fluidized resin transfer from the storage facility near bulk resin off load rail spur.
SSOE was able to successfully deliver this project with the general contractor partner on time and at budget so that the critical production start date was satisfied.
