Efficient supply chain management has become a determining factor for the success of companies. Distribution Centers (DCs) play a crucial role in optimizing logistics processes, enabling the efficient receipt, storage and distribution. In Mexico, the importance of these centers is even more accentuated as the country positions itself as a key player for  the global industrial scenario. Learn more in this article about the strategic importance of Distribution Centers and how they contribute to the improvement of delivery services in industrial zones.

Industrial Zones: Drivers of Economic and Entrepreneurial Activity

Optimizing the supply chain through Distribution Centers has a direct impact on the customer experience. Timely and accurate delivery of products not only fosters customer satisfaction but also builds brand loyalty. Efficiency in the supply chain becomes a key competitive advantage, which is why the strategic location of a distribution center can make all the difference in supply chain agility. This is where industrial zones emerge as drivers of economic and business activity, strategically linking industrial development and logistics optimization. 

An industrial zone is a specific area dedicated to the installation and operation of various businesses and economic activities related to production and manufacturing. These areas are designed to concentrate and facilitate the operation of businesses that require specialized facilities, such as factories, warehouses, and distribution centers.

Key features of an industrial zone

• Specialized land use: Industrial zones are carefully planned, allocating land use for specific activities. This helps the concentration of companies with similar needs.
• Infrastructure and connectivity: Infrastructure and connectivity are key elements that define the effectiveness of an industrial zone. Modern roads, efficient ports and robust rail connections are essential to ease the movement of raw materials and finished products. In Mexico, investment in modern infrastructure has placed certain areas, such as the Bajío and the northeast of the country, in a prominent position to enhance the competitiveness of companies.
• Business diversity: Industrial zones contain companies from different sectors, fostering collaboration, specialization and synergy among them.
• Resource concentration: The concentration of resources in industrial zones not only facilitates the procurement of raw materials, but also stimulates innovation and collaboration between companies. Proximity to suppliers and specialized services contributes to operational efficiency and cost reduction.
• Employment generation: Industrial zones not only promote economic development but also generate significant employment for the local community, making them one of the most tangible benefits of industrial zones in Mexico. By concentrating companies in specific areas, significant employment opportunities are created for local communities. This factor not only contributes to economic development, but also improves people’s life quality.

Main Industrial Zones Locations

Industrial zones in Mexico are essential components of the country’s economic development. Regions such as the Bajío and the Northeast of the country stand out for their significant concentration of these areas, driving key sectors such as manufacturing and logistics. VYNMSA has 26 industrial parks in Mexico, located in strategic points within the most important metropolitan areas of Mexico, such as Apodaca, Escobedo, Guadalupe, Santa Catarina, Ciénega de Flores and Pesquería in Nuevo León, as well as in the state of Coahuila, in the Ramos Arizpe municipality.

The great advantage of establishing your company with VYNMSA within these strategic locations is the great operational capacity, in addition to the vital connection with the United States for industrial and logistic activity. 

Benefits for Businesses and the Economy

Business Growth:

Industrial zones serve as incubators for business growth. The presence of several companies in an industrial zone creates an environment conducive to economic growth in the community. Industry data indicate that companies located in industrial zones experience faster growth than those outside these areas. An example of Mexico’s industrial growth is that in Monterrey during the last few months, the construction of industrial spaces has increased by 30%, according to Real Estate Market.

Export Facilitation

Mexico, with its strategic position, becomes a hub for export facilitation. Industrial zones close to borders and ports speed up the shipping process of products abroad. Hard data reveals a steady increase in exports from these areas, contributing significantly to the country’s economic growth. According to data from the Mexican Association of Private Industrial Parks (AMPIP) indicates the growth of 2.5 million square meters of industrial space, especially from Asian countries.

Mexican industrial zones have become engines that drive the economy, foster business collaboration, and create employment, playing a vital role in the country’s sustainable economic growth. By addressing challenges and promoting sustainability, these zones become boosters for long-term development, ensuring a prosperous future for businesses and the economy as a whole.
