With over 500 flights operated between Asia and Mexico, Geodis has established an air bridge that is redefining the country’s transpacific trade. But the company hasn’t stopped there. From its base in Mexico, the French logistics firm has set its sights on Latin America as the next strategic route , aiming to balance its cargo flow and strengthen regional exports.

“Part of Geodis’ strategy is to strengthen trade flows in our region. All exports to Latin America are important, and we would focus our efforts there. Colombia and Brazil are the strongest markets, where we have developed the best commercial relationship,” says Miguel Muñoz, managing director of Geodis Mexico, in an interview with T21. The statement summarizes a change in focus: moving from a primarily import-based operation to an export platform and regional network.

The executive explains that the sectors of interest are consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, and high technology, three industries with expansion potential that the company has not yet “targeted”.

“It’s part of our growth strategy; we have a very broad service portfolio, and air freight is one of them,” he adds. The company, which has built an integrated logistics network, now aims to more robustly connect Mexico with the main industrial and consumer hubs in South America.

Today, Geodis’s air operations in the country are heavily reliant on imports , driven by demand for technology products from Asia, as well as the dynamism of e-commerce and the automotive industry. But the plan is to reverse that balance. “By 2026, we have the ambition to enter other sectors. There have been some structural changes from Paris and the United States that have an impact on the structure in Mexico, which will allow us to enter other markets,” reveals Muñoz, pointing to a global reconfiguration of the group that reinforces Mexico’s role as a strategic hub.

“This solar installation is more than just a technological upgrade; it reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation, responsibility, and sustainability,” emphasized Jessica Himmelreich, vice president and director of Sustainability, Occupational Health and Safety, and Dangerous Goods at GEODIS in the Americas.

The rooftop solar project is a strategic step toward reducing GEODIS’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and contributes to its climate goals, the company emphasized in a statement.

To that end, the company aims to reduce GHG emissions from its fleets and buildings by 42%, in addition to a 25% reduction in the carbon intensity ofoutsourced transportation relative to container shipping, road, and rail operations compared to 2022.

“A solar installation directly supports GEODIS’s goals by reducing Scope 2 emissions (emissions from purchased electricity), assisting with green building certifications, and reducing operational GHG emissions in a scalable manner. The project also supports Prologis’ goal of deploying one gigawatt (GW) of solar power, supported by battery storage, across its global real estate portfolio by 2025,” the logistics company emphasized.

So far in 2025, GEODIS and Prologis have completed three warehouse solar installations, with five additional installations planned for the remainder of the year . The companies’ collaborative work supports their broader sustainability strategy, which includes transitioning to certified sustainable warehouses , improving energy efficiency across their network, and delivering lower-carbon lanes for sustainability-focused customers.

“As a leader in low-carbon energy generation, we are proud to collaborate with GEODIS to support sustainable logistics operations in Mexico and beyond,” said John Hoekstra, Director of Corporate Sustainability and Energy for Europe and LATAM at Prologis.

The installation will also help stabilize energy costs and mitigate exposure to utility rate increases. The system is designed with future scalability in mind, offering potential for battery storage and microgrid integration.

“This solar project is a tangible expression of our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and leadership in the logistics sector,” Himmelreich emphasized, adding that it also marks a significant step toward achieving its Ambition 2027 strategic plan and sustainability goals.
