Bombardier Inc.’s former recreational-products unit will study a new increase in manufacturing capacity as it rushes to meet surging North American demand for jet skis and off-road vehicles.

BRP Inc. is investing about C$25 million ($20 million) to expand output at two Mexican plants about 20 percent by April. With the company working full tilt in Mexico and running Saturday shifts, Chief Executive Officer Jose Boisjoli is already eyeing the next step-up in production abilities.
