REGAL BELOIT (Making Friends in McAllen)
In December of 2011, the Texas Workforce Commission hosted a conference in Houston, TX to award the Employer Award of Excellence for the Workforce Solutions Lower Rio area. Regal Beloit Corp. was the proud recipient of that recognition, which honors companies that are actively involved with their local workforce board and make a positive impact on employers, workers, and the community. Employers in the counties of Hidalgo, Starr and Willacy County were considered for this award.
Regal Beloit, a Fortune 1000 Wisconsin-based heavy manufacturer of electric motors, HVAC components and metal stamping, purchased a 125,000 square foot facility in McAllen, TX in early 2011 for its advanced manufacturing plant. This move provided Regal Beloit with a strategic advantage by positioning it within minutes from its sister facility in Reynosa, MX, where different types of motors are assembled with the components manufactured in McAllen.

MCALLEN EDC COMMUNITY EVENTS
In the latter part of 2011, as well as January and February of 2012, MEDC has successfully guided various Winter Texan Bike Tours through manufacturing, recycling and distribution operations in the McAllen Industrial Community.
In these tours, the bike groups ride to several operations like EMU Plastics, Regal Beloit, Valley Plastics, Kazam Powder Coating, GE Aviation, GE Electric Energy, FibeRio Technologies, Galvotec Alloys, King’s Prosperity, and the McAllen Foreign Trade Zone. The operations open their doors to exhibit their production process to our guests from up North. These operations answer any questions the tour guests may have, as many of these Winter Texans have extensive manufacturing experience from the plants they may have worked for in their home states or Canada.
