Valley-Dynamo, a division of Brunswick Corporation, will be moving its manufacturing operations to Reynosa, Mexico, from Richland Hills, Texas. The Company will locate its new facility alongside another recently opened Brunswick manufacturing operation.
Valley-Dynamo’s plant transition will take place over the next several months and is expected to be transparent for customers of the industry’s leading manufacturer of coin-operated and consumer pool, air hockey, foosball tables. Concurrent with the completion of the move, which is anticipated to eventually lead to a reduction of 90 positions, Valley-Dynamo will relocate to a new headquarters and distribution warehouse in the Dallas-Fort Worth area housing its executive, administrative, sales and distribution personnel.
Dave Tomizuka, president of Valley-Dynamo, stated, “Weve made a tough decision that will affect lives and are taking every step possible to ensure a soft landing for affected employees, including outplacement and severance. Despite several years of efforts to maintain manufacturing operations in the United States, consolidating our manufacturing operation with other world- class Brunswick operations in Mexico will allow us to realize substantial cost savings necessary to remain competitive and ensure our leadership position in the industry.”
