DEFIMEN

What DEFIMEN does

DEFIMEN (Depósito Fiscal Mendoza) is the first bonded warehouse in western Argentina specialized in refrigerated and frozen products, operating from a 6-7 hectare facility in the Maipú Industrial Zone of Mendoza with 11 cold chambers totaling 14,900 m³ of capacity (7,000 m³ refrigerated, 5,500 m³ frozen, and 2,400 m³ pre-chamber). The company's core offering combines temperature-controlled warehousing with on-site permanent customs staff and a SENASA technical team, enabling streamlined international trade procedures and sanitary compliance for high-risk agricultural and food exports. Supporting services include picking, cross-docking, FIFO/FEFO/LIFO inventory management, RFID/barcode traceability, ERP integration, consolidation/desconsolidation, and pallet storage.

DEFIMEN generates revenue through three interconnected streams: cold storage services, customs and regulatory services, and personalized logistical and legal advisory. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to storage volume, product type, service duration, and SENASA protocol requirements, structured around multi-year contracts. The go-to-market is B2B sales-led, with dedicated account executives engaging enterprise customers across fruit exporters (lemons, cherries), poultry/meat exporters, and wineries. Distribution is direct, delivered at the Mendoza facility with pickup and delivery coordination for Argentine and Chilean markets.

DEFIMEN is a business unit of Grupo All In S.A., a privately-held Argentine-Chilean conglomerate operating since 1990 in international trade logistics. The parent ecosystem includes All In S.A., Andescold S.A., Despachantes de Aduana S.A. (DASA), Inland Transportes S.A., Interandes Shipping S.A., and TACSA, enabling bundled one-stop-shop logistics solutions. DEFIMEN's strategic location near the Cristo Redentor International Pass provides direct bioceanic corridor access to Chile and Pacific markets (China, USA, EU), differentiating it from Atlantic-only alternatives. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (2025), Proveedor Tipo 'A' de Bodegas de Argentina status (2024, 99% score), and SAG Chile habilitación for Argentine lemon imports (2025).
