en.Wedoany.com Reported - To fill the structural gap in Mexico's industrial supply for large-scale, fully integrated industrial ecosystems, Interpuerto Monterrey was established. Located in Salinas Victoria, north of the Monterrey metropolitan area, this large-scale master-planned industrial platform accommodates companies ranging from 1 hectare to over 150 hectares, with pre-installed infrastructure including energy, water, rail connections, and fiber optics. Its dual rail connections provide direct access to key logistics corridors such as the Colombia-Laredo corridor, offering companies uninterrupted connectivity to the U.S. border while bypassing Monterrey's urban congestion. Additionally, close collaboration with the local municipal government significantly accelerates permitting processes, with temporary construction permits allowing companies to begin site preparation while completing formal approvals, advancing project timelines by two to three months.
The park fosters a diversified industrial ecosystem encompassing automotive, food production, home appliances, logistics, and general manufacturing, with tenants from Japan, the United States, South Korea, Germany, China, and Mexico. Some companies within the park have become part of each other's supply chains, creating synergies. Currently, of the total 1,450 hectares, approximately 45% (about 700 hectares) remains available for development, with over 11,000 employees working on-site and more than 5,000 vehicle trips daily.
Facing key challenges affecting clients—particularly international trade policy uncertainty regarding tariffs—the park anticipates a new wave of nearshoring driven by corporate supply chain optimization needs once the results of the upcoming USMCA review (expected to conclude in the second half of 2026) become clear. It expects a second wave of nearshoring within the next six to eighteen months. By providing a stable, fully serviced platform that mitigates structural risks, the park helps companies act quickly once policy conditions are clarified.
To seize opportunities, Mexico must address major structural challenges such as legal certainty, energy infrastructure, and security. In terms of energy, rapid industrial demand growth between 2021 and 2024 depleted available capacity buffers. In response, the park is investing in new infrastructure, including a 450-megawatt substation set to become operational soon. Meanwhile, energy capacity costs have risen from approximately $150–200 per kilovolt-ampere six years ago to $700–1,000 per kilovolt-ampere today. The park is actively promoting the use of treated water and implementing water reuse systems to reduce environmental impact and improve long-term cost structures.
The park's strategic bonded facility offers significant advantages for companies engaged in international trade, allowing them to import raw materials duty-free, process them, and pay tariffs only on final products. In terms of security management, the park implements a comprehensive framework including controlled access points, surveillance systems, and K-9 inspections, and is in the process of obtaining "Authorized Economic Operator" certification. Additionally, the park is integrating artificial intelligence and automation tools, such as license plate recognition systems and QR code-based access control, to optimize operational efficiency.
For data centers and digital infrastructure—a key component of future industrial ecosystems—the park has made dedicated plans. The new 450-megawatt substation will allocate a portion of its capacity for data center projects, enabling low-latency operations through direct fiber optic connections to Texas. The park observes a shift toward highly automated manufacturing facilities and is committed to providing clients with the connectivity, energy capacity, and operational environment required for next-generation manufacturing.
