Ambu hosted a grand opening of its new manufacturing plant, located in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, on October 11, 2022. With a total capacity of nearly 323,000 square feet, the new factory is Ambu's larger plant, allowing the company to ramp up its future production and supply of products. Securing a growing manufacturing capacity is imperative following a period of instability in the global supply chain.

The new factory is a strategic step to become closer to the North American market by having a more sustainable and flexible approach to supply chain constraints, allowing for cost-effective transportation and an improved supply of products to customers. Manufacturing footprint strengthened in record time: The new manufacturing facility in Mexico was built in less than two years. The foundation stone was laid in March 2021, and the first products — SPUR resuscitators — have been shipped to the U.S. At the plant, Ambu will produce single-use endoscopes within the four major endoscopy segments — pulmonology, urology, ENT, and GI — as well as parts of anesthesia portfolio.

Furthermore, the company anticipates the creation of a total of 2,000-3,000 new jobs as it ramps up production in the coming years. Ambu owns and operates manufacturing facilities in China, Malaysia, the U.S., and Mexico, totaling a production space of nearly 1.1 million square feet across continents. On top of that, the new plant holds an additional 215,000 square feet for future expansion.
