Established in 1987, but with a history that began in 1882 with Matson Navigation, this American logistics company has been handling cargo from Mexico for 20 years , specializing in cross-border intermodal services. It has recently expanded its range of services to include cargo deliveries within Mexico through the creation of Matson Logistics MX.
“We are expanding to offer intermodal rail and road transportation within the country or across the border to the United States and Canada,” shares Adriana Muñoz, general manager of Mexico for Matson Logistics.
The growth of nearshoring in the country was key to the creation of the Mexican subsidiary , which will allow it to expand into new markets through the synergies it has with railroads and transporters to offer more logistics solutions.
The intra-Mexico operation began in September this year, after more than two decades of experience in cross-border rail and road services.
Matson Logistics conducted a thorough market review and determined that creating a subsidiary in Mexico would allow it to expand its services across the country and offer a variety of transportation and supply chain services.
“We started with the service using Ferromex’s interpacific network. We plan to participate in all available routes of the Mexican railroads,” says Muñoz.
With the creation of Matson Logistics MX, the company seeks to initiate road brokerage services in Mexico. This means that if a client is looking for a solution that requires road transportation, whether due to customs requirements or specific needs, the company offers a logistics solution through alliances with different types of road transporters and can “create a customized route for the client from origin to destination.”
Matson Logistics is ranked the number one intermodal rail service company in the United States with the Quest for Quality Award and is excited to bring the same top-notch service to its expanded business portfolio in Mexico.
