Mexico
Mexico stands out as a strategic pillar in Latin America and North America thanks to its privileged geographic location, solid manufacturing base, and central role in global supply chains. The country attracts multinational operations seeking logistical efficiency, proximity to the United States, and access to global markets, establishing itself as a top-tier destination for industrial and commercial investment. Mexico is positioned as one of the world’s leading logistics hubs and a key partner for companies looking to scale operations and optimize their supply chains.
Costa Rica
Costa Rica plays a pivotal role in our Central and South America strategy due to its advanced
infrastructure, attractive economic and commercial profile, and proximity to the United States.
Costa Rica’s strategic location, diverse industrial production profile, pro-business government
policies, and strong bilingual labor force make it highly attractive for multi-national
enterprises that rely on logistics assets. Costa Rica is well represented in the consumer,
retail, distribution, food and beverage and other “basic needs” sectors, and has a rapidly
growing presence in the production of higher value-added goods including in the life sciences
and medical device manufacturing industries. Costa Rica attracts business operations and
commerce from many multinational corporations. The government’s pro-business stance consistently
facilitates trade with other countries, including the United States. According to the Wilson
Center, Costa Rica is a party to 15 free trade agreements with 58 partners, providing favorable
access to nearly three billion consumers. The World Bank’s “Ease of Doing Business 2021” report
ranked Costa Rica 74th out of 190 countries worldwide in terms of conditions for opening and
doing business, and fourth out of 18 countries in Latin America.
Peru
Our focus on operations in Peru is integral to our South American strategy, as we leverage the
country’s improving macroeconomic fundamentals and investment-friendly environment. The Peruvian
government’s focus on sound fiscal management and macroeconomic fundamentals has contributed to
the country’s region-leading economic growth and reduced poverty rates over the past two
decades, according to ITA. Peru fosters a predictable investment environment, including strong
contract and property rights protections.
Colombia
Colombia is a cornerstone of our South American operations, strategically positioned at
the northern tip of the continent. This prime location provides access to both the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans, making it ideal for companies looking to establish a base for exporting goods to
North and South America, as well as Europe. Furthermore, its proximity to Central America and
the United States strengthens its position as a key logistics hub. We leverage Colombia's strong
GDP, commercial development, and
macroeconomic profile to our advantage.
Colombia is the fourth largest economy in Latin America and has the third largest population in
the region with over 50 million people as of 2021, according to the ITA. Seven cities in
Colombia, including Bogota, Medellin, Cali, Barranquilla, Cartagena, Pereira, and Bucaramanga,
have more than one million people each, making them attractive submarkets for the logistics
industry. Colombia has five major commercial hubs including Bogota, Medellin, Cali, Barranquilla
and Cartagena, offering U.S exporters access to multiple commercial centers.
