Alliance
GMXT is moving forward with this key project to strengthen the agricultural supply chain in northeastern Mexico. The goal: to improve the safety and efficiency of transporting corn, wheat, and other derivatives.
The design includes a railway circuit that connects directly to the Bartlett Terminal in Pesquería. It is a 6-kilometer link to the industrial zone.
It also includes a 2.5-kilometer semicircular section of railway track. This line surrounds a facility covering more than 40 hectares.
The train will supply six silos of 12,000 tons each, unloading up to 120,000 tons of corn and wheat per month.
“We are excited to work together to build a strong supply chain for our current and new customers,” said Felipe de Jesús Torres, CEO of Bartlett Mexico.
For Daniel Doria, Commercial Director General of GMXT, the terminal is the result of a joint effort to shore up a growing market such as that in the northeast of the country.
“Nuevo León now has a unique railway infrastructure that will further boost the growth of various companies linked to the food sector, ensuring the timely supply of corn and wheat for their production processes,” said Doria.
