With an immersive experience that brought together executives and clients, AMASS Mexico , a Chinese logistics services provider, celebrated its first year of operations in the country. The celebration highlighted the company’s accelerated growth in the Mexican market and its expansion plans in Latin America , including the upcoming opening in Peru.

The event featured company representatives from Mexico, Latin America, and Europe, who shared their vision for the firm’s future in the region. During his remarks, Yosnith Figueroa, CEO of AMASS Mexico, highlighted his enthusiasm for the progress made .

“It’s been an excellent start. We’re very proud and excited to present this brand as our own. Although it’s not new, we’ve been working for the Mexican and Latin American markets for years, and today we do so under our own identity,” he noted.

He also reaffirmed his commitment to quality service in the region, and emphasized that the leadership achieved in China is being replicated in Latin America and Mexico .

Hal Donahue, AMASS’s Latin American regional general manager, reflected on the company’s progress and beginnings in Mexico.

“It’s hard to believe that a year ago we were walking into the office without internet, without computers, without cell phones, and today we’re here. Our goal is to grow not only in Mexico but also in the rest of Latin America,” he said.

During the event, executives recognized the AMASS Mexico team and highlighted their role in fostering “a fresh, youthful, and approachable organizational culture.”

The company also reaffirmed its commitment to developing the Latin American market , with a presence in countries such as Brazil, Chile, and Colombia, with plans to expand into Peru, and invited everyone to celebrate this first year as the beginning of a long-term story .
