Adaptability: A Key Differentiator That Enables Growth

Q: What specific strategies, operational changes, or innovations is Accel Logística introducing to overcome emerging challenges and strengthen its competitive edge? 
A: Accel Logística has evolved over 97 years by adapting infrastructure, business processes, and human capital to meet the country’s changing needs. Guided by strong principles and values, we translate them into tangible benefits for our clients, maintaining our leadership through continuous adaptation to market dynamics and industry challenges.

Our key differentiator is adaptability. With highly experienced talent and reliable business processes, we quickly read market trends and adjust operations accordingly. This agility, combined with our ability to personalize services, allows us to meet each client’s specific needs.

Q: What specific technological innovations has Accel Logística implemented recently that have significantly enhanced operational agility, visibility, or supply chain optimization? 
A: In logistics, technology is an enabler, not an end in itself. Accel Logística focuses on implementing solutions that add value to both our clients and our internal teams. Our goal is to achieve full supply chain visibility and traceability, while boosting internal productivity through tailored, scalable tools. We partner with specialized providers who meet strict cybersecurity standards, offer scalability, and can adapt solutions to client needs and market speed. This collaborative approach allows us to deliver true end-to-end, one-stop-shop logistics solutions that evolve with industry demands.

Q: How does Accel Logística customize operational frameworks to meet the diverse and dynamic demands of various industries while maintaining scalability and cost efficiency? 
A: We start with a core system covering 90% of standard logistics needs, including receiving, storage, preparation, and delivery. From there, we customize solutions based on each industry’s requirements. For example, in fresh products we focus on demand planning and predictive models, while in automotive we prioritize synchronization and delivery precision. The goal is to identify where each client has the greatest optimization opportunities and tailor our processes and technology accordingly, ensuring scalability and cost efficiency.

Q: What predominant industries and product categories are driving demand for specialized services such as cold chain logistics? 
A: Cold chain logistics remains a major growth opportunity due to rising demand for safe food, pharmaceuticals, and certain chemicals. Mexico still lacks sufficient cold chain infrastructure, so our strategy focuses on being a specialized mid-sized player rather than competing purely on scale. We ensure strict temperature control throughout storage and handling to protect product integrity, using infrastructure efficiently and maintaining compliance with operational ranges. Given that cold storage investments have long payback periods, often over seven years, we approach growth with a long-term vision to ensure both service quality and investment certainty.

Q: What measures is Accel Logística implementing to safeguard cold chain cargo and ensure secure deliveries?
A: Cold chain products, especially frozen perishables, are less vulnerable to theft than dry goods, as breaking the cold chain can render them unusable. Still, we apply strict risk management measures. We analyze shipment schedules, routes, and risk areas, and carefully select transport partners based on their operational capacity and discipline. Each partner is matched to clients whose security protocols they can meet. We then train personnel, define operating procedures, and continuously monitor performance indicators with technology and predictive algorithms to quickly detect deviations and reduce incident rates.

Q: How does Accel embed environmental responsibility into its operational strategies, infrastructure investments, and client partnerships while balancing economic performance? 
A: As a public company, we are committed to a clear strategy covering environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. 100%% of our owned distribution space operates with solar panels, and we are extending this to leased facilities. We run water conservation, resource awareness, and 3R programs. We are upgrading older warehouses to meet higher sustainability standards, while aiming for LEED certifications in new builds.

The main challenge in transport is promoting low-emission fleets in a market with limited fueling infrastructure for alternatives like natural gas. We are developing business cases for consolidated cargo routes using gas-powered vehicles and maximizing empty return trips through network visibility.

Sustainability has been part of our DNA for over 50 years, originating with our founder’s sustainable forestry practices. This long-term vision continues to guide our investments and client partnerships, ensuring environmental responsibility aligns with economic performance

Q: What measures or strategic adjustments have you implemented to mitigate the impact of US tariffs? 
A: US tariff uncertainty drives short-term decisions, such as stockpiling inventory, which affects turnover and creates new operational challenges. In sectors with clearer visibility, like electronics, we have even seen some relocation activity. Tariff shifts are also changing the role of bonded warehouses, prompting us to adapt strategies and offer alternative solutions. 

Our long-standing IMMEX program provides flexibility, and we expand capabilities through strategic partnerships with other providers. In today’s complex market, collaboration, with partners, clients, and authorities, is essential to mitigate trade disruptions and maintain competitiveness.

Q: Which industries serve as the primary drivers of your operations? 
A: Our operations span key sectors for Mexico’s economy. We have a strong presence in food and agroindustry, including certified handling of raw materials for major processed food producers. In automotive, we support leading OEMs, adapting to increasingly sophisticated logistics requirements. We also serve the chemical, textile, wine and spirits, technology, and medical device sectors. Each demands different levels of customization, from multi-channel logistics for top wine importers to high-precision, certified handling of medical devices destined for surgery. This multisector expertise allows us to deliver true end-to-end, one-stop-shop logistics solutions.

Q: Which trade corridors or transportation routes have emerged as the most critical in supporting your operations, both for national distribution and cross-border logistics? 
A: In cross-border logistics, North America remains our most critical corridor, with primary operations through Ciudad Juarez, Nuevo Laredo, and Tijuana. We are also expanding into Asia via air freight alliances, offering high-frequency connections to China. 

Domestically, our key routes align with Mexico’s main consumption hubs: Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey, along with strong flows from the Bajío for automotive, Ciudad Juarez for IMMEX operations, and increasing e-commerce-driven demand. We also manage significant cargo from Manzanillo and, to a lesser extent, Veracruz, depending on client needs.

Q: What key priorities, strategic initiatives, and measurable objectives will guide Accel Logística as it transitions into the new year? 
A: 2025 has been challenging, but we remain on track to meet our financial commitments through a focused commercial strategy, operational efficiencies, and personalized solutions. The priority is to make Accel Logística even more agile, strengthening our core capabilities, especially talent, to respond faster to market shifts. As we enter 2026, our strategy centers on building these competitive strengths to sustain growth, while reinforcing logistics as a key driver of the global economy.
