Karri , a Chilean last-mile transportation company, is betting on Mexico to grow its business to meet growing demand, mainly through e-commerce.
This company is a subsidiary of Transmi , a Chilean company specialized in corporate transportation, which, since the pandemic, has ventured into the last mile with logistics solutions that respond to the needs of electronic commerce.
In 2022 , Karri expanded its operation to Mexico, a strategic market due to its size and accelerated growth in e-commerce, for which it has established a presence in eight key cities , including Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey, with a client portfolio that includes large retailers.
“Mexico is a market with exponential growth in e-commerce. In 2024 alone, we saw a 75% increase in sales compared to the previous year, and that reinforces our commitment to expanding and consolidating here,” said Alan Guerrero, operations manager at Karri.
During the holiday season, logistics activity allowed Karri to undertake an ambitious expansion plan for Mexico, with the aim of adding more than 200 carriers during December and the first quarter of 2025.
The company also seeks to consolidate its presence in cities and states such as Mexico City, Toluca, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Tepatitlán, Puebla, Querétaro, Chihuahua, Aguascalientes and Cabo San Lucas .
“Our ability to assess markets and position ourselves quickly has allowed us to work with large clients. We want to continue strengthening these alliances and expand our operations in new strategic regions,” Guerrero said.
Proprietary technology is also an essential pillar for Karri, allowing it to integrate with client systems and offer advanced routing and tracking solutions.
In terms of sustainability, the company plans to incorporate electric fleets in Mexico, replicating the model implemented in Chile, where it already operates with renewable energy.
“Although we know that Mexico’s geography poses challenges for electric fleets, we are evaluating the best way to implement these technologies here. In Chile, we have been working with renewable energies for several years and we hope to replicate this soon,” Guerrero added.
Karri is looking to consolidate its position in Mexican logistics, supporting its clients in the last mile and exploring new business models.
“Our goal is to grow together with our clients, adapting to their needs and the market. We are projecting a 20% increase in our operations for the first half of 2025, which will allow us to continue strengthening our presence in Mexico,” Guerrero said.
