Masats arrives in the USA

With the name Masats llc and headquartered in Calhoun, Georgia, Masats has founded its subsidiary in the United States. The American market represents a new challenge for Masats
after the company found it necessary to establish itself in the USA in order to comply with the Buy America Act (BAA). This norm states that in the case of public transportation operators
that request federal subsidies to purchase vehicles, 60% of those products must be manufactured and assembled in the United States.

Masats llc. plans to manufacture aluminium doors and some of the  mechanisms in the Calhoun plant, while the pneumatic systems will continue to be provided by Masats S.A. In the first phase, an annual demand of 600 vehicles and 1200 doors is expected.

The American market is interesting for Masats because of its relevant potential, but it is very demanding and its specifications are significantly different from other regions such as Europe, where there is virtually a single door supplier.
