The requirements for both customers are produced at the Sypris manufacturing campus located in Toluca, Mexico.
Commenting on the announcement, Paul Larochelle, Vice President and General Manager, stated, “We are pleased to extend our strategic relationship with this key customer which is entering its 18th year.
