Known as “liofilizador” in Mexico, KEMOLO freeze dryers equip top producers including Morelia’s largest firm; low local costs make Mexico ideal for US-bound freeze-dried exports, with full local service.
In Mexico, freeze dryers are commonly referred to as “liofilizador”, and the country’s largest freeze-dried food manufacturer is based in Morelia, a city close to Mexico City. This leading producer relies entirely on KEMOLO freeze-drying equipment for its core production. Beyond this major player, dozens of other medium and large-scale processors with daily ton-level production capacity also use KEMOLO freeze dryers as their primary production machinery.
Mexico shares a direct border with the United States, the world’s largest consumer market for freeze-dried products, creating unbeatable geographic advantages for cross-border trade. Additionally, land, labor and raw material costs in Mexico are significantly lower than those in the US, drawing numerous investors to build freeze-drying plants in Mexico and export finished high-value products directly to the US market for higher profit margins.
Buyers in Mexico have two main options for purchasing freeze dryers: the first is to order directly from KEMOLO, which provides dedicated local Mexican engineers for full after-sales support, including site planning, professional installation and timely repair services. The second is to source from local trading companies, most of which import low-quality, inexpensive machines. The vast majority of customers choose the first option, as it guarantees reliable machine quality, professional service and lower overall costs.
