The Northeast Chapter of COMCE currently has more than 180 member companies, forming a powerful industrial and export force of the highest caliber. Among them are Alfa, Cemex, Cydsa, Deacero, FEMSA, Frisa, Proeza, Vitro, Xignux, Ternium, Gruma, and ARCA .

Present at the event were Jesús Herrera Casso , outgoing president of Comce Noreste, whom Cendejas thanked for his exemplary leadership; and Sergio Contreras , executive president of Comce Nacional , whose presence “symbolizes the support and strength of a national network with an international presence.”

Javier Cendejas acknowledged that future challenges include the revision of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), uncertain tariffs , price pressure, the nearshoring phenomenon , industrial relocation, the reconfiguration of value chains, and the accelerated advancement of technology.

“But where there are challenges, there are also great opportunities. And it’s up to us to act with vision, foresight, and, above all, collaboration,” he stated.

He also took advantage of the moment to make a “respectful but firm” appeal to the authorities: ” We must continue working together . The results of foreign direct investment in our region have been historic. That is recognized and valued. But to sustain this pace, we need to listen to, address, and address the needs of those who drive Mexico’s international trade every day.”

• North America and Latin America: United States, Canada, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Chile and Argentina.
