Grupo México Transportes (GMXT) and Bartlett , a grain trading and storage company, inaugurated a storage terminal in Pesquería, Nuevo León , with an investment of 52 million dollars.
“We are excited to work together to build a robust supply chain for our current and new customers. We see incredible potential in partnering with GMXT, and the combination of our strengths. I am confident this project will open the door to new opportunities in the future,” said Felipe de Jesús Torres, Managing Director of Bartlett Mexico.
This project is a strategic step forward to ensure security and efficiency in the supply chain of corn, wheat, and other agricultural derivatives for key industries such as the milling, livestock, and tortilla industries in northeastern Mexico.
The terminal received its first train on July 9, carrying 115 cars and more than 11,500 tons , while an inaugural ceremony was held on August 13 for users, partners, and other relevant stakeholders.
GMXT invested $18 million in a loop -type circuit that allows the unloading of 120 cars in just 10 hours.
Daniel Doria, GMXT’s general commercial director, said the terminal is the result of a combined effort to bolster a growing market like northeastern Mexico.
“The collaboration between GMXT and Bartlett fills us with pride and is yet another example of how to generate change for the benefit of Mexico. Nuevo León now has a unique rail infrastructure that will further fuel the growth of various companies linked to the food sector, ensuring a timely supply of corn and wheat for their production processes,” Doria emphasized.
The rail circuit designed by GMXT to serve the Bartlett terminal in Pesquería consists of a six-kilometer (km) connection to the industry, as well as a 2.5-km semicircular rail section surrounding the more than 40-hectare facility.
