The company is comprised of licensed Customs Brokers (Agentes Aduanales) and offers an integrated service portfolio built around customs clearance (Despacho Aduanal), ground transportation, rail freight, a Foreign Trade Zone (Recinto Fiscalizado Estratégico) in Marín, Nuevo León, a Trade Zone in Altamira, cold storage facilities, a SAGARPA inspection point at Colombia, Nuevo León, and foreign trade advisory services covering the USMCA corridor. All four primary revenue streams (customs brokerage, logistics, foreign trade zone/warehouse, and SAGARPA inspection) are transaction-fee based. Customer acquisition is conducted through a sales-led GTM model relying on website contact forms, social media channels, and direct executive follow-up, with no publicly disclosed pricing, no self-serve digital channels, and no named customer logos. The company reports no institutional investment, no disclosed funding rounds, and no published revenue figures.
