ATEQ is a global solutions leader in leak detection testing equipment for the automotive, aviation, and other manufacturing industries. The company has facilities throughout the globe, including an established manufacturing presence in Queretaro, Mexico.
ATEQ desired to strategically evaluate its real estate options in Queretaro, which had seen an increase in activity due to the entrance of numerous international manufacturing companies.
ATEQ engaged Plante Moran Realpoint (PMR), formerly Plante Moran Cresa, to review all of its space options in Mexico, taking into account its need for future expansion and increasing demand in the area. Plante Moran Realpoint assisted ATEQ in the purchase of nearly 1 acre of vacant land in Queretaro, where the company intend to build a nearly 20,000-square-foot facility. Its decision allowed the company to select a location that met the business's logistics needs and allowed for more control over the quality of construction. Plante Moran Realpoint assisted ATEQ with negotiations and coordination of attorneys, property owners, and project management firms in Mexico.
