BEUMER announced that this fall will mark the firm’s 10-year anniversary serving industrial customers in Mexico.

BEUMER opened its Mexico City office in November 2009 to provide services for airport baggage handling systems. Since that time, the Mexico-based operations have expanded to include manufacturing and logistics industry clients in Mexico and Latin America as well as the Caribbean.

“Thriving tourism is leading to a need for increased baggage handling capacity across Mexico’s airports,” said Ralph Buchholz, Executive Director of BEUMER Mexico. “This increase, along with the rise of e-commerce and the growing need for manufacturing automation, has allowed us to provide solutions that benefit our clients and the local economy as a whole,” he continued.

BEUMER’s offerings in Mexico reflect the company’s material handling capabilities and range from providing concept engineering for airport renovations and expansions through developing sortation and distribution solutions for parcel centers to designing conveyor systems for the cement and mining industry.

BEUMER’s signature projects in Mexico include designing and providing a fully adaptable packaging line for Cooperativa La Cruz Azul S.C.L, the country’s third-largest cement manufacturer, and upgrading the baggage handling technology at Mexico City International Airport’s Terminal 2.

BEUMER’s Mexico operations currently include a main office in Mexico City and a satellite location in Cancun.
