By combining local presence with global expertise, we deliver what customers need most: speed, reliability, and flexibility across their supply chains.”
The terminals are tailored to the needs of industries such as automotive, semiconductors, and life sciences, handling spare and service parts, medical equipment, high-value goods, and hazardous materials. The facilities provide dedicated documentary and physical handling processes for export and import shipments to ensure operational reliability.
Stefan Fölsing, Managing Director of time:matters Courier Terminals, adds: “The new terminals in Mexico add a strategically important hub to our network in Latin America. With dedicated handling processes and personalized control, we ensure faster and more reliable handling for key industries.”
