UPS & Estafeta Make it Easier for Small Businesses in Mexico to go Global
June 30 2020 - 1:30PM
UPS (NYSE:UPS) and Estafeta Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. today announced
a commercial agreement between the two brands to provide Mexican
businesses with international shipping services to help them reach
more than 220 countries and territories around the world. The
agreement will also make it possible for Mexican companies to reach
their customers in the U.S. within one business day.
“Resilience is a key quality for nimble businesses
looking for opportunities that will come as economies around the
world stage their recoveries,” said Nando Cesarone, president for
UPS International. “The future is about nimble networks and
strategic partnerships. The timely collaboration leverages UPS’s
smart global logistics network and Estafeta’s established presence
in Mexico. As the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement comes
into force to simplify trade for a refreshed North American trade
block, we stand ready as growth partners to further streamline
established supply chains – and open up new cross-border
opportunities. We are making it easier for small and medium-sized
businesses in Mexico to reach their targets in high-growth
international markets.”
The collaboration includes more than 160 Estafeta
service points, where businesses can easily link up with UPS’s
worldwide network through a connection to UPS’s global air hub in
Louisville, Kentucky. New or current exporters will be able to
reach the U.S. market in one day while taking advantage of the
benefits of the new USMCA (T-MEC) trade agreement, which reduces
the time, cost and complexity involved in cross-border trade,
especially for key industries such as aerospace, automotive,
manufacturing and high-tech. The Estafeta locations include those
in Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey and Queretaro, territories
that in the last few years have been a launching point for Mexican
exporters.
“The partnership we are building with UPS takes on
greater relevance in a very complicated global economic
environment. For Mexico, the viability of SMEs is critical. They
are innovative, agile and job-generating. Now, more than ever,
Mexican entrepreneurs need logistics support that adapts to their
needs and capabilities. It is very important that during this time
of strong e-commerce growth, they have access to specialized
logistics solutions to expand their products to international
markets competitively and to help them join the future of
business.” said Ingo Babrikowski, managing director for
Estafeta.
Customers are expected to gain:
- Competitive, reliable time-in-transit: Direct
connections increase speed to market, a competitive advantage for
critical industries with production lines involving a high need for
control such as the aerospace and automotive industries.
- Benefits of the USMCA (T-MEC) agreement: The
updated trade agreement will simplify how companies ship goods
throughout North America, enabling easier entry into their
neighbors’ markets and increased demand for cross border
solutions.
- Improved capabilities for e-commerce: For
e-tailers, being able to offer fast, visible and reliable
cross-border deliveries encourages return customers. This
partnership allows entrepreneurs in Mexico to connect with their
international customers and their vendors faster.
