Maersk Boosts Mexico-US Trade with New Tijuana Logistics Facility
Maersk has opened a new logistics facility in Tijuana, Mexico, further boosting its cross-border trade capabilities between Mexico and the United States. The facility, part of Mexico's Immex programme, offers a range of value-added services, including sorting, storage, and order fulfilment.
Located in Prisma XII, Pacifico Industrial Park, the facility benefits from proximity to major commercial ports, including Otay and San Ysidro. It boasts 20 docks and two ramps, along with advanced inventory control management and cross-docking capabilities. The site offers single and double-deep storage, currently utilising 16,000 sq.m of its 28,000 sq.m parts handling capacity.
Maersk aims to facilitate Mexico-US cross-border trade by expanding its landside capabilities. The company provides transport services to and from the Tijuana facility in collaboration with third-party suppliers due to Mexican regulations. This facility is considered critical for cross-border automotive parts shipments, supporting both inbound and aftermarket parts.
Maersk's commitment to Mexico's logistics sector is evident in its growing footprint. The company already has 150,000 sq.m of logistics space across the country and plans to expand further in Guadalajara and Monterrey.
The new Tijuana facility, with its comprehensive range of services and strategic location, strengthens Maersk's position in facilitating Mexico-US cross-border trade. It is a significant addition to the company's growing logistics network in Mexico, which now totals 150,000 sq.m and is set to expand further in Guadalajara and Monterrey.
