Altamira Multimodal Terminal, a leading figure in the Mexican logistics landscape, celebrates its 26th anniversary with a series of achievements and projects that promise to further boost its market position.
Enrique De Hita Sánchez, president of Grupo Multimodal Altamira, shared his vision on the most pressing logistical challenges in the northeastern region, highlighting the importance of connectivity, specialization in logistics services, and security as key factors for maintaining an efficient and reliable supply chain.
Regarding the challenges faced over the past 26 years, he emphasized constant evolution and a commitment to innovation as fundamental pillars for maintaining competitiveness. “One of the greatest challenges has been automation. Investing in the implementation and updating of our systems and processes has allowed us to optimize operations and offer innovative logistics solutions,” commented De Hita Sánchez.
De Hita also highlighted the exponential growth of Altamira Multimodal Terminal, where in the past three years they have managed to double their operations, expanding their presence through new terminals in Querétaro and San Luis Potosí. This growth has been supported by significant investments in infrastructure and technology, as well as the commitment and dedication of their human team.
Their network of business relationships extends to more than 30 countries worldwide, with a particular focus on the United States, China, Brazil, and Germany.
In the United States, thanks to the geographic proximity to the East Coast, they handle imports and exports, especially in the automotive, food, and consumer goods sectors.
For China, the company both imports and exports. Operations cover a wide variety of manufactured products, technology, and consumer goods imported from there; in addition to exporting raw materials to China.
Brazil represents a key market for the company’s logistics operations in relation to the cold chain, due to Mexico having established a quota for importing tariff-free chicken meat some years ago to address national supply needs.
Lastly, in Germany, they deal with giants in the steel and automotive products industries.
Looking towards the future, Altamira Terminal Multimodal has several strategic projects underway for the year 2024.
