Gomsa

What Gomsa does

Gomsa Logística is a privately held Mexican customs agency and integrated logistics provider headquartered in Mexico City with origins traced to 1861 and 501-1,000 employees. The company operates customs brokerage (agencia aduanal) at Mexico's principal maritime ports (Veracruz, Manzanillo, Lázaro Cárdenas, Altamira, Tuxpan) and border crossings (Nuevo Laredo, Ciudad Hidalgo, Colombia), holding its own customs patents (patentes aduanales) at each location, which grants direct legal authority to clear cargo. Beyond customs clearance, Gomsa delivers ground transportation, international freight forwarding, contract logistics (warehousing and distribution), cargo insurance, and comprehensive logistics services to enterprise clients engaged in cross-border trade.

The company's technology platform consists of three proprietary tools: SIL (Sistema Integral de Logística), a 100% web-based supply chain monitoring system providing 24/7 real-time visibility; SIW (Sistema Integral Web), a client portal delivering documentation, tracking, and custom reporting on customs operations; and GOMSA APP, a mobile application on iOS and Android enabling clients to monitor shipments by pediment number, configure alerts, and contact account executives. The company maintains CTPAT, ISO 9000, and IATA certifications, holds ESR and EcoVadis sustainability ratings, and is a member of CAAAREM and multiple regional customs agent associations as well as FIATA and CANACAR.

Gomsa serves enterprise customers across automotive, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, beverage, food, luxury goods, retail, and industrial sectors, with a named client base including AB InBev, Chanel, Bridgestone, Pernod Ricard, Estée Lauder, Heinz, and Zoetis. Revenue is generated through transaction-based fees on customs brokerage, freight forwarding, ground transport, and cargo insurance, supplemented by managed-service contract logistics engagements. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account executives and direct presence at ports and borders, supported by a content marketing engine (Travesía magazine, educational webinars on IMMEX and T-MEC topics, and downloadable compliance guides).
