How do you turn challenges into opportunities in a rapidly changing logistics landscape? 🌍🚚 At the 10th edition of Automotive Logistics Mexico, held in Mexico City on November 12-14, Roberto Zavala, VP Mexico Operations at Wallenius Wilhelmsen shared our story alongside over 550 industry leaders. We showcased how Mexico’s logistics network evolved from relying on two main ports to a balanced four-port system and how we supported customers during the 2023 network collapse. By introducing a dedicated Mexico - US East Coast vessel service, deploying skilled teams, and enhancing vehicle tracking, we kept supply chains moving. Together with Nissan on stage, we demonstrated the power of collaboration in tackling critical industry challenges. 🤝 Looking to 2025, the resilience built into Mexico’s network ensures the industry is ready for what’s ahead. #WalleniusWilhelmsen #LogisticsInnovation #SupplyChainResilience #CollaborationInAction #AutomotiveLeadership
