Halliburton opens manufacturing center in Mexico

While we were sleeping...

Halliburton’s Energy Services Group (ESG) is opening a new manufacturing center in Monterrey, Mexico, to meet its customers’ increasing demands for energy services products. The grand opening of the facility is expected to take place in May 2007. When operations at the center reach full capacity, the 9,290-square-meter facility will initially create 50 new direct jobs and additional associated supplier jobs.

“Halliburton chose the state of Nuevo Leon for its economic leadership,” said Tony Wham, vice president of Manufacturing, Halliburton. “We have been operating in Mexico for more than 60 years, and Monterrey is a leading industrial area with an experienced workforce, excellent infrastructure and mature supply base. Expanding our operations here demonstrates our desire to continue our longstanding relationship with Mexico.”

The facility will manufacture oilfield equipment for upstream energy customers. It is estimated that more than 300,000 annual productive hours will be provided by Mexican suppliers.

Hmmm..

According to documents and whistleblowers concerning a San Diego wastewater treatment plant to be built in Tijuana, Mexico, Vice President Dick Cheney, Reps. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) and Bob Filner (D-CA), and former congressman and current Republican congressional candidate Brian Bilbray have allegedly advanced the project despite serious concerns from those involved."The proposed Bajagua Project is a secondary wastewater treatment plant for San Diego, named after the company, Bajagua Project, LLC, which was founded solely to get the no-bid contract for water treatment. The agreement is a private-public fee-for-service proposition that will charge the federal government billions. The estimated profit forecast for the project is upwards of $600 million dollars over a twenty-year span.

Interesting Halliburton is expanding in Mexico...

Cheney is a good smart CEO as he moves his company to countries where cheap labor is freely available. Now Halliburton can get US dollars, pay no taxes and give jobs to the people the US wants to kick out. It's a win win situation. No charges of criminal acts or slave labor for Halliburton. Just a thought Cheney's leg problem might mean he's ready to resign and take his CEO job back. Maybe Bush will appoint Lieberman as his VP because that KISS was sealed.

Oh Gonzo is staying for the children to teach them lying under God's name is ok. Sounds alot like Fingers Foley staying for the kids. And we now know what he was up to with the kids.

Yes, and now with more jobs going to Mexico, I just don't see that helping stop the flow of illegal immigration. Cheney/Halliburton what next, and I am sure there is a whole lot more going on or in the works.

The Dickster could care less of the illegal immigrants issues. His concern are profit and power.
