Delarúb , which offers four different services in a single company, opened its fifth warehouse in Laredo , Texas, to increase storage capacity in the region, motivated by the push for nearshoring and the commercial drive between Mexico and North America.

Delarúb’s new facility in Laredo has a capacity of 120,000 square feet, a 420-box storage yard and the most advanced technology on the border.

“In total, we have 360,000 square feet in Laredo, plus a 15,000 square foot warehouse in San Diego, California, and our corporate offices in Mexico City with sales teams in Guadalajara, Querétaro and Monterrey,” said Hiram de Rubín, CEO and founder of the company.

Delarúb currently has a portfolio of approximately 32 clients . According to Hiram de Rubín, the key to keeping them lies in the personalized service and its structure.

Delarub has four divisions, each with its own structures and clients. “We have Delarub Group, which manages warehouses and distribution in the United States; Delarub Logistics with more than 100 employees, with an office in Mexico City and more than 25 employees; Delarub LLC, focused on customs operations at the borders of Mexico, the United States and Canada; and Delarub Transport , which has 42 of its own units and 100 boxes for exchange in Mexico. This allows us to operate independently, without depending on third parties,” said De Rubín.

This structure allows Delarúb to sell services to any client , who can choose from the portfolio. “By having control over all aspects of the supply chain, we can provide a full-service experience. This not only makes the process easier for our clients, but also improves the quality of the service we offer,” explained Hiram de Rubín.

Founded in 2017, Delarúb has been experiencing steady growth for seven years , based on offering multiple services, such as merchandise collection in Mexico, border crossing with transfer and customs, and distribution in the United States with its own trucks, under the same brand that allows for better positioning in the market.

“From the beginning, we have sought to offer our clients full capacity through our own warehouses, our own transport and a customs agency under our own brand. This approach allows us to offer a comprehensive service,” emphasized Hiram de Rubín.

E-commerce has grown exponentially. The Mexican Association of Online Sales (AMVO) reported that in 2023, Mexico became the country with the highest growth in e-commerce worldwide, with an annual growth rate of 24.6 percent.

This surge has created a need for not only a digital channel but also an almost impeccable management of this channel to meet the growing needs of end customers.

As a result, the offer of specialized services in this sector has also expanded. For example, Infracommerce, a full-service e-commerce company, bases its business on five key processes, all aimed at putting the customer at the center: Infra log, Infra digital, Infra tech, Infra data, and Infra pay.

The company has more than 750 clients in Latin America, where they have over 130,000 square meters of logistics capacity.

Regarding the logistics part of the business, which provides fulfillment services, in 2023, across six countries in Latin America (now eight), the company moved more than 3.2 million units. They adhere to two main KPIs: handling time, which is the time it takes to fulfill an order from approval to readiness for transport, which must be done within 24 hours. That year, they achieved 97.3% of orders within this timeframe.

Infracommerce has three warehouses, one of which is located in Mexico— the others are in Argentina and Chile— situated in Tultitlán, Estado de México. It spans 2,000 square meters with an additional 3,400 square meters provided by a mezzanine, allowing for 90,000 positions capable of storing around 1.5 million items.

“The warehouse is the heart of our e-commerce operations; from here, we orchestrate what the end customer expects and what our contracting customer needs,” said Abisaí Rojas, Head of Warehouse Mexico.

This location specializes in the logistics of luxury brands, which presents a challenge due to the care and security measures that must be implemented.

In this warehouse, 51,000 units from five different brands have been moved so far this year, and 400 units of reverse logistics have been managed.

Infracommerce handles logistics for products ranging from a book to a large big-ticket item. Abisaí Rojas assured that the brand treats all packages equally, regardless of their size, with full brand support.

“They present the same challenges to us. The challenge a big-ticket item poses is that the carrier doesn’t have the same capacity to deliver a piece of clothing or a chair. The packing process requires more materials and more work, but the processing is equally important,” he noted.

Infracommerce towards digitalization

Given the rise of e-commerce in Mexico and the promising market for the coming years, the brand has been migrating brands to its own warehouse in the State of Mexico from locations managed by three different 3PLs. This warehouse already has expansion plans in place to prepare for Buen Fin.

Abisaí Rojas mentioned that a vertical storage project is planned for the end of this year, featuring a structure 10 meters high and six meters wide. This will optimize space and shift the strategy of the pickers through automation and digitalization (artificial intelligence).

He added that by next year, the facility will expand to 6,000 square meters with the addition of a second mezzanine. They will also incorporate a pick-to-light system and other collaborative technologies.

Furthermore, Infracommerce has developed its own Warehouse Management System (WMS), which will be standardized across all its operations.

Furthermore, proximity to the port of Moerdijk allows for eco-friendly transportation options such as barges and railways, complemented by electric vehicle charging stations.
