ParexLahabra Opens New Manufacturing Facility in New Mexico

ParexLahabra, the parent company of leading building material brands; Parex, LaHabra , El Rey Stucco, Teifs, MerKrete and MerKo, today announced the opening of their newest manufacturing facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The new dry materials plant located at, 4100 1/2 Broadway SE, features a new Eirich automated mixer which is more efficient than older manual mixing processes. The new machinery delivers more accurate dosing, producing a more consistent product and has reduced mixing time from twenty to thirty minutes to three to five minutes with a significant amount of saved energy. The reduction in time has increased production efficiency by five hundred percent. This translates into quality products that are delivered to the customer in less time using less energy. Finished products are stacked on pallets by a robotic arm, allowing faster palletizing of products and eliminating possible back injuries to our employees.

“The environment was a concern in the construction of our new plant”, said Dave Leach, Central Region Operations Manager for ParexLahabra. “This new facility uses an energy savings air compressor and ties dust collection into the entire dosing and mixing process. The process eliminates dust released to the atmosphere both inside and outside the plant and is more environmentally friendly”.
