CEO AND CHAIRMAN OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD, RHENUS GROUP
"Some of the trends that we observe include larger warehousing footprints, which will lead to high levels of standardization, mechanization, automation and increased possibility to implement technology-driven solutions to derive economies of scale."
"There is room to grow at double-digit rates in specialties in Mexico over the next five years, and that is our goal. We want to become the leader in specialty distribution in the country."
"Univar Solutions grew double digits in 2021, both top line and bottom line. In Latin America it was no different, as we increased EBITDA by approximately 45% and revenue grew by almost 27%."
In August 2023, Mexican exports to the US surpassed China for the first time. As companies prioritize securing supply their chains after years of logistics challenges, Mexico has begun to see major benefits. With a spate of new infrastructure projects such as the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec coming online in 2023, the country is actively opening itself to investment. The chemical industry, in particular, is positioned for nearshoring-driven growth.
