FedEx Mexico and the Ministry of Economy (SE) signed a collaboration agreement to improve the export of products with the “Made in Mexico” certification. The alliance aims to offer affordable logistics solutions for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to strengthen their ability to compete in international markets.
Jorge Luis Torres, Vice President of Operations and CEO of FedEx Mexico, stated that the agreement represents a “strategic alliance to strengthen the national productive ecosystem” and emphasized that micro-enterprises are the ones that take risks, innovate and generate jobs, so this program will open access to new markets for them and give greater visibility to what is proudly made in Mexico.
“Mexico is experiencing a historic moment. The industrial, technological, and logistical future of the region is being shaped today, and FedEx wants to be part of this story we are building together. We reaffirm our commitment to continue supporting the Mexican government and businesses on this path of shared growth, with the conviction that a Mexico more connected to the world is a more competitive Mexico,” he stated.
The executive emphasized that the agreement’s benefits include discounts of up to 45% on FedEx Business services and special support for those with “Made in Mexico” certification. Furthermore, it offers educational support to improve product competitiveness and presentation, enabling more entrepreneurs to “compete on a level playing field and expand their international presence .” The goal is to connect Mexican innovation with consumers and partners in more than 220 countries.
For his part, Fernando Díaz, Director General of Productive Development at the Ministry of Economy, pointed out that micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) are the backbone of the Mexican economy, representing more than 99% of businesses and generating more than 70% of the country’s employment . With this agreement, they will be able to export faster and under better conditions, leveraging FedEx’s logistical capabilities.
He also mentioned other benefits of the agreement, such as free quarterly webinars on logistics and exporting, personalized packaging advice, and international promotion through FedEx’s global network. Díaz emphasized that these tools, previously reserved for large corporations, will now be available to small businesses.
For her part, Andrea Genoveva Solano, head of the Regulations, Competitiveness, and Competition Unit at the Ministry of Economy, highlighted that FedEx is a global benchmark for efficiency and innovation, with a robust operation in Mexico that includes more than 9,000 jobs, 83 facilities, and 45 weekly international flights . This infrastructure, she said, demonstrates confidence and solid investment in the country’s economic development.
Finally, Vidal Llerenas, Undersecretary of Industry and Commerce at the Ministry of Economy, thanked FedEx for joining the “Made in Mexico” initiative. He explained that, in a protectionist global context, logistics is key for SMEs to integrate and export, complementing the government’s efforts to simplify procedures.
This public-private collaboration aims to ensure that opportunities reach all regions and that micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) become key players in national development.
