In today’s landscape of globalization, growing e-commerce, and increasingly complex supply chains, Distribution Centers (CEDIS) have become a cornerstone for efficient business operations. In Mexico, having a strategically located CEDIS with world-class infrastructure is essential to achieving higher levels of competitiveness.
The logistics market generated USD 175 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at 7.1% annually through 2030. For companies, this represents a strategic opportunity to reduce delivery times, lower costs, and strengthen supply chains.
With over 30 years of experience developing industrial spaces in Mexico’s most economically dynamic regions, VYNMSA provides tailored solutions for companies looking to establish or expand their logistics operations. Our industrial parks are designed to host state-of-the-art CEDIS in key locations such as Nuevo León, Bajío, Querétaro, Coahuila, and San Luis Potosí.
What is a Distribution Center and its role in the supply chain?
A Distribution Center (CEDIS) is a logistics facility where products are stored, sorted, and shipped to retail points, end customers, or business partners. Its main function is to consolidate, classify, and dispatch products efficiently, ensuring deliveries are made in the shortest possible time while keeping logistics costs under control.
Within the supply chain, a CEDIS acts as a strategic hub connecting production with consumption. It is the place where inventory is managed, orders are prepared, logistics technologies are integrated, and shipping routes are optimized. The location and design of a CEDIS can represent a decisive competitive advantage.
Types and examples of Distribution Centers in Mexico
There are different types of CEDIS, and their selection depends on each company’s business model, operating volume, and target market:
Regional Distribution Centers: Serve specific states or geographic areas.
- National Distribution Centers: Operate at a country level, connecting with multiple regional hubs.
- Omnichannel Distribution Centers: Handle orders for both physical stores and e-commerce.
- Temperature-Controlled Distribution Centers: Designed for perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, or cold chain products.
Examples in Mexico include Amazon’s distribution center in the State of Mexico, Walmart’s CEDIS in Guanajuato, and regional hubs operated by FEMSA, Nestlé, Mercado Libre, and DHL.
Key features of an efficient Distribution Center
The operational efficiency of a Distribution Center (CEDIS) depends directly on its design, infrastructure, connectivity, and technology. Some of the defining characteristics of a modern distribution center include:
- Spacious loading and unloading docks
- Clear heights of over 9 meters
- Industrial-grade LED lighting
- High-resistance concrete floors
- ESFR fire protection systems
- Racking and automated storage systems
- Fiber optic networks and IoT connectivity
- Logistics management systems (WMS, ERP)
- 24/7 security and controlled access
At VYNMSA, we integrate these and other high-value features into our available industrial buildings and tailor-made developments.
