At the same time, the mechan\u00adical engi\u00adneering industry is under huge cost pres\u00adsure. Pilz has enjoyed suc\u00adcess in this chal\u00adlenging market for 25 years, with its own sales and ser\u00advice com\u00adpany. Founded in 1999, today Pilz Mexico is rep\u00adre\u00adsented in a total of eight loca\u00adtions.

The mechan\u00adical engi\u00adneering industry in this country places par\u00adtic\u00adular emphasis on offering effi\u00adcient solu\u00adtions.
