SANTA TERESA, NM — September 11, 2025 — The New Mexico Borderplex continues to solidify its reputation as a rising center for advanced manufacturing and global innovation. Azumo, Inc., a Chicago-based pioneer in reflective display and lightguide technologies, and Cymmetrik Group, a global leader in printing applications and value-added services, announced an expanded strategic partnership that places Santa Teresa, New Mexico, at the heart of their global operations.
Under the new agreement, Cymmetrik will serve as Azumo’s global contract manufacturing partner across the United States, Taiwan, and China. A cornerstone of the collaboration is the integration of Azumo’s proprietary equipment and patented lightguide film technologies into Cymmetrik’s ISO-certified facilities—including a newly constructed clean room in Santa Teresa designed to meet IATF 16949 automotive compliance standards and support industrial-scale production.
“This partnership represents a pivotal moment for Azumo,” said Mike Casper, CEO of Azumo. “By combining our breakthrough optical technologies with Cymmetrik’s unmatched global manufacturing infrastructure—including new operations in Santa Teresa—we can rapidly scale to meet customer demand.”
Why It Matters for New Mexico
The investment in Santa Teresa strengthens the New Mexico Borderplex’s position as a strategic location for high-tech manufacturing. With proximity to the U.S.–Mexico border, robust logistics infrastructure, and a growing cluster of technology firms, the region offers a compelling value proposition for global companies seeking scalable, U.S.-based production.
“Partnering with Azumo allows us to leverage our expertise and global footprint while accelerating commercialization,” said Templer Wei, CEO of Cymmetrik. “Our expansion into the New Mexico Borderplex positions us to better serve customers in North America and beyond.”
