Executives at Mercury Products take a very thoughtful approach to adding manufacturing capacity and capabilities as they work to keep up with growing demand. Based out of a 95,000-sq.-ft. plant in Schaumburg, IL, Mercury's roots lie in serving the heavy-truck market with low- to mid-volume, highly complex stampings, fabricated-metal parts and assemblies. It also provides plenty of value-added processing, including polishing, welding and assembly. In 2000 the firm opened a second plant, this one a 50,000-sq.-ft. facility in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, targeted toward higher-volume, low-SKU work for the automotive market. And, in 2009 it added a third plant, in Saltillo, Mexico.
