Industrias Guidi's 60th Anniversary

INDUSTRIAS GUIDI
Thursday 5th of May 2016, Industrias Guidi (IG) dispatches from its plant
in Zarate only a few months after its opening the 1.000.000 part – a
T8361302-KK020 – for Toyota Argentina to produce its pick-up Hilux.
The plant in which these auto parts are produced is the result of a forty
million dollar investment. This biographical milestone starts way before
the entry of a steel blank to a transfer press in the history of IG. We have
to go back in time to 2012 when the company decides to buy the 10
hectares of land located on Route 9, Km 93 to build the second industrial
plant in Zarate (IGZ) and increase its productioncapacity.
Janet Guidi (President) recalls how these changes would transform the
history of IG forever. “By the end of 2011 we understood that in order to
evolve in the auto part business we had to be close to our main client,
Toyota. So we started looking for appropriate grounds to build a new
plant in the north zone. This enabled us to face a second challenge we
had on hold: to assemble the new transfer press we had acquired some
years ago which meant and important technological improvement forour
production.”
Company directors agree: the new business stage represented a
multidimensional challenge.
