Increasing Demand for U.S. Warehousing and Mexico's Contribution 

The U.S. industrial real estate market is heating up again. According to recent data from Colliers, warehouse absorption hit 60 million square feet in Q3 2025 — the strongest growth since early 2023.

From Phoenix to Indianapolis, companies are rethinking how to keep inventory closer to customers while balancing rising costs, unpredictable tariffs, and ongoing supply chain shifts. The need for flexible, scalable logistics partners has never been clearer.

Supply Chain Strategy Is Shifting 

Despite global trade uncertainty, businesses are doubling down on long-term logistics strategies. As Prologis recently noted, many companies have become “desensitized to short-term noise,” meaning they’re investing with confidence in smarter, more resilient networks.

At Crane Worldwide Logistics, we’re seeing the same story unfold across our client base. Whether it’s retail vendors optimizing their networds, cloud and datacenter infrastructure positioning, or manufacturers fine-tuning cross-border operations, the focus is on speed, adaptability, and visibility.

Building Resilient, Borderless Networks

Our approach goes beyond simply providing space — it’s about delivering strategic logistics partnerships that evolve with your business.
We offer:

• Flexible warehousing capacity that scales with your needs.
• Custom distribution and fulfillment solutions built for your operations.
• Real-time inventory visibility through advanced technology.
• Trade compliance expertise to keep you ahead of changing regulations.

But as U.S. space tightens, more companies are looking south — and Mexico is emerging as a critical link in the supply chain.

Crane’s Strategic Hubs in Mexico

To help our clients stay ahead, Crane Worldwide Logistics has expanded its network with strategic stations in Monterrey (MTY) and San Luis Potosí (SLP) — two key logistics hubs designed to support nearshoring, manufacturing, and automotive growth.

Monterrey (MTY): The Nearshoring and Trade Gateway

Monterrey is the beating heart of Northern Mexico’s industrial expansion. Its proximity to the U.S. border and excellent infrastructure make it the ideal base for:

• Global companies looking to establish or expand operations in Mexico.
• Businesses focused on export, nearshoring, and cross-border trade.

From raw materials to finished goods, our MTY facility connects your supply chain seamlessly with the U.S. market — faster, smarter, and with greater control.

San Luis Potosí (SLP): Central Mexico’s Fulfillment Powerhouse

Located in Mexico’s Bajío region, SLP offers the perfect midpoint for national distribution. It’s a growing hub for:

• Manufacturers and distributors serving Mexico’s north, Bajío, and central regions.
• E-commerce and high-value manufacturing require fast, efficient fulfillment.

Our SLP station combines central positioning with cutting-edge logistics technology, enabling you to move inventory across Mexico while maintaining visibility and reliability.

Powering the Automotive Supply Chain

The automotive and auto parts industries demand precision and reliability. That’s why both MTY and SLP are equipped to support Just-in-Time (JIT) and Just-in-Sequence (JIS) operations — ensuring your production lines stay running smoothly and your customers stay satisfied.

From OEMs to Tier 2 suppliers, Crane Worldwide’s integrated logistics solutions help simplify complex automotive supply chains across Mexico’s most active industrial corridors.
