Since its conception as a transport company, 501 RT (Revolutionizing Transport) had a clear mission: to make a mark on its stakeholders, being an ally of its clients, but a space for development for its collaborators, where permanence in its ranks is based on conviction.

501 RT’s vision is defined as: “To consolidate ourselves as an international benchmark in conscious and dignified transportation, leading the evolution of the industry through technological innovation and operators that inspire confidence and excellence,” is how Alan León Wong, founder and head of sales and operations of the company, describes it.

To enhance the positive results of 501 RT, Alan León also describes that there is a framework of values ​​that allows for a favorable and consistent path in the market, “our values ​​are faith, family, gratitude and teamwork ; these are unbreakable and we live them day by day throughout the organization to obtain a better result.”

From the manager’s perspective, the values ​​held by the company, together with the defined vision, are the elements that allow the establishment of goals and commitments with clients, and the achievement of ensuring that all employees are aligned to achieve them.

The above is essential, when 501 RT is a strategic partner of various transnational clients that have a high standard of service , and therefore, its transportation provider must maintain a corresponding performance.

501 RT offers import and export services, door-to-door services, HAZMAT, Intra Mexico and airport services . “We are specialists in expedited services, where we are aware of the needs of our clients and therefore we must configure the service experience to be at the requested standard,” highlights Alan León.

One of the qualities of 501 RT, in addition to its modern infrastructure, is the commitment of its employees, a situation that becomes relevant when all its operations are carried out with a double operator in order to meet expedited conditions.

Certifications, the route

At 501 RT we are aware that a culture of constant development and evolution must be maintained, not only for the company, but for all those involved in it. Since its inception, 501 RT has had the mystique of achieving the best standards in the industry and making a difference in the market , through the recognition of third parties, which validate the operations and commitments assumed.

501 RT is CTPAT certified, which is aimed at providing security to supply chain participants, where the strengthening of its processes and infrastructure provides certainty to its clients.

Along the same lines, 501 RT obtained the Great Place to Work certification that recognizes its human capital management, “we are the only company in the trucking sector that has the Great Place to Work and aligns with our mentality of doing extraordinary things, and that supports our mystique ,” ​​emphasizes Alan León.

Mexproud Shipping celebrates its 28th anniversary by consolidating its leadership in the industry with notable figures , expansion in Latin America and a commitment to sustainability.   

Antonio Prakash Vargas, CEO of the company, reflected on this journey and the challenges he has faced to bring the company to where it is today. 

“The company was founded by my father 28 years ago, but I took over the leadership 10 years ago after he suffered an accident. It was a difficult start, but today we can proudly say that we handle more than 40,000 TEUs (20-foot containers) annually and we work with top-level companies such as Soriana, Grupo Salinas and Castel,” said Vargas Rajaram. 

Resilience and adaptability have been key to Mexproud Shipping’s success. During the pandemic, the company diversified into importing medical supplies, bringing in 33 flights with essential supplies, a decision that, according to Prakash, “not only allowed us to survive, but also to support society at a critical time . ” 

The company is currently betting on a solid expansion in Latin America . In 2023, they opened offices in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and have plans to venture into Guatemala. Prakash highlights that the expansion is not only focused on business growth, but on the selection of the right partners:  

“If we have a good relationship with partners and see clear opportunities, we move forward,” Prakash said. 

Recognitions validate the effort! 

This year, Mexproud Shipping obtained the Great Place to Work certification , a recognition that, according to Antonio, “reflects the well-being and happiness of our team.”  

Added to this is the Member Commander’s Club award from the MSC shipping company , which recognizes them as one of the Top 10 Freight Forwarders in Mexico, handling more than 15 thousand TEU, in 2024, only with them. 

The modernization of the offices in Mexico City and the growth of the team, which went from 17 to more than 115 people, are part of Mexproud’s commitment to continuous improvement.  

In addition, social responsibility initiatives and collaboration with environmental organizations focused on the protection of species stand out. Among the activities carried out recently and in which employees were involved are: 

• Donation of furniture to the Daunis Foundation (children and young people with Down syndrome).

• Collection of bottle caps and financial donation for the Tapitas Foundation (Support for children with cancer).

• In-kind donation to Juguetón, for children in vulnerable situations.

• Workshop and informative talk for the conservation of spaces and endemic species of Xochimilco in CDMX.

The future in Mexico and beyond! 

For Antonio Prakash, the industry faces major challenges, from security issues and port infrastructure to the need for digitalisation . However, he says that what sets Mexproud apart is its focus on solving problems “out of the box” and the commitment of its team. 

“The key is to ensure that the customer has peace of mind, despite the political and logistical challenges we face,” he said. 

Looking ahead, the company plans to strengthen its presence in Mexico , especially in strategic regions such as Monterrey, Guadalajara and Bajío, as well as explore opportunities in Ensenada, taking advantage of the growth of its port.  

Prakash also sees significant development in Brazil as one of the long-term goals, although he acknowledges that it is a highly competitive market. 

As a personal and corporate vision, Prakash concludes that internal well-being is the driving force of the company:  

“We need to be on good terms with each other, because that is the only way we can reflect this in quality service for our customers,” Prakash said.

With 28 years of experience, Mexproud Shipping is celebrating an anniversary, but also reaffirming its commitment to innovation, expansion and responsible development in the logistics sector.
