Which plastics and rubber roles do you place?

Plant Directors and General Managers, VPs of Manufacturing and Operations, Tooling and Process Engineering Directors, Quality Directors under IATF 16949 / ISO 9001, Supply Chain and Materials leaders, Country Managers for Mexico operations, and Commercial Directors serving automotive, medical, packaging, and industrial OEMs.

Where does plastics manufacturing sit strongest in Mexico?

Nuevo León, the Bajío (Querétaro, Guanajuato, San Luis Potosí), Jalisco, Chihuahua, and Baja California — feeding automotive, appliance, medical, and packaging OEMs across the US–Mexico corridor.

How is tooling depth actually evaluated?

The Dynamic Fit Method™ probes hands-on mold-flow judgment, cycle-time optimization, scrap discipline, and tool-life economics — not just certifications on paper. Silvia's manufacturing background reads the plant floor before the CV.
