The firm has signed a multi-year agreement with The Offshore Group, a Tucson AZ-based provider of outsourced manufacturing support, for the rental of 39,500 square feet of industrial space, as well as the Group's “shelter” services at the Bella Vista Industrial Park in Empalme, Sonora, Mexico. MICO expects to employ up to 90 workers by the end of the project's second phase.

Besides the new plant in Mexico, MICO will continue to operate its established manufacturing facilities in North Mankato MN; Ontario CA; and Pershore, Worcestershire, United Kingdom.
