Bulkmatic, a key player in North American bulk logistics, has unveiled a $600 million investment strategy aimed at reshaping Mexico’s multimodal landscape. Spanning a ten-year horizon from 2026 to 2036, the plan focuses on the development of specialized terminals designed to handle a range of commodities, with a particular emphasis on the storage and transport of liquid fuels.
The expansion is intended to effectively double the company’s current operational footprint. According to Francisco Melo, Bulkmatic’s commercial director, the goal is to increase rail car handling from the current average of 3,500 per month by an additional 3,000 units. This surge in capacity will be supported by significant storage projects, including facilities in Tula, Pesquería, and Hermosillo capable of holding hundreds of thousands of barrels of fuel.
Geographically, the strategy aligns with Mexico’s broader infrastructure ambitions. New terminals in Coatzacoalcos, Salina Cruz, and Progreso are positioned to interface with the Interoceanic Corridor and the Maya Train, creating a more cohesive network across the country’s industrial north and developing south. By embedding itself into these state-led transit corridors, Bulkmatic is positioning itself as a critical intermediary in the movement of energy and industrial goods across the continent.
