El Grande Group

What El Grande Group does

El Grande Group is a privately held Mexican manufacturing-partnership and industrial-park operator founded in 2015 and headquartered in Apaseo El Grande, Guanajuato. The company serves foreign manufacturers — primarily from North America, Europe, and Asia — that want to establish or expand production operations in Mexico under the country's IMMEX (Maquila) program. Its core proposition is a one-stop nearshoring solution that bundles four product lines: the IMMEX-VAT licensing program (using El Grande's own shelter license to give tenants VAT-exempt import/export), industrial real estate across two industrial parks totaling more than 60 acres in Saltillo (Coahuila) and Apaseo El Grande (Guanajuato), logistics and warehousing (over 5,000 m2 of IMMEX-compliant storage plus cross-border freight across MX/US/CAN), and shelter services covering on-site HR, payroll, accounting, legal advisory, fiscal compliance, immigration, and government liaison. Standard building units are 3,120 m2 with 250 KVA power, fiber optic, natural gas, and on-site water wells, enabling tenants to begin production in 30-90 days.

Core offering

El Grande Group provides integrated manufacturing partnership services that enable foreign companies to establish and operate manufacturing facilities in Mexico. Its core offerings include IMMEX-VAT program administration for tax-free import/manufacture/export, industrial real estate (lots, built-to-suit facilities, warehouses) across two industrial parks in Saltillo and Apaseo El Grande, logistics and warehousing services across North America, and comprehensive shelter services covering HR, accounting, legal, fiscal compliance, and regulatory management. Together these allow foreign manufacturers to begin operations in Mexico in 30–90 days without setting up their own Mexican entity.

The portfolio consists of four core offerings: the IMMEX-VAT Program (enabling tax-free manufacturing and export), Real Estate Services (60-hectare industrial parks with built-to-suit options), Logistics & Storage (warehousing and border-crossing logistics), and Shelter Services (comprehensive operational support including HR, accounting, legal, and compliance). Additional modules include Financial Services (leasing, factoring), Legal Advisory, and Design/Architecture services.

Broad incumbents

• Terrafina: Terrafina is a leading Mexican industrial REIT (now part of the Vesta platform) operating a diversified portfolio of manufacturing and distribution facilities across Mexico. Broad incumbent competing for the same industrial tenant pool as El Grande but with institutional scale and capital access El Grande lacks.
• Vesta: Vesta is a publicly traded Mexican industrial REIT with a nationwide portfolio of manufacturing and logistics facilities serving foreign and domestic manufacturers. Operates as a broad incumbent in the same industrial real estate category as El Grande, but at much larger scale and with a capital-markets-financed acquisition strategy.

Others

• Copachisa: Copachisa is a major Mexican industrial construction and design-build firm specializing in factories, warehouses, and industrial park infrastructure. Comparable as a service provider to El Grande's built-to-suit fit-up and design/architecture offering, though Copachisa is not a park owner or shelter operator.

Direct peers

• Tetakawi: Tetakawi is a Mexican shelter services operator headquartered in Sonora that provides foreign manufacturers with turnkey Mexico setup, including IMMEX program administration, HR, accounting, and facility services. Most direct comparable to El Grande's shelter+IMMEX offering, though its geographic base is northern Pacific coast rather than Bajio.
• Shelter Services International (Shelter Mexico): Shelter Services International is a long-established Mexican shelter operator offering turnkey foreign-owned manufacturing setup, IMMEX licensing, HR, accounting, customs, and logistics under one platform. Closely analogous service model to El Grande's shelter program, serving the same foreign-manufacturer segment.
• Advance Real Estate (Advance Industrial Parks): Advance Real Estate develops and operates industrial parks in Mexico tailored to manufacturing tenants, with built-to-suit and speculative inventory similar to El Grande's park offering. Comparable in park ownership and tenant-targeting to El Grande's industrial real estate arm.
• Manufacturas Intermex: Manufacturas Intermex is a Mexican manufacturing services operator providing maquiladora and contract manufacturing support including IMMEX program administration and shelter-adjacent services for foreign manufacturers. Comparable operating model to El Grande's shelter and manufacturing-partner positioning in Mexico.
• FINSA: FINSA is one of Mexico's largest industrial real estate developers, operating a national portfolio of industrial parks with build-to-suit and shell-product offerings for manufacturers. Directly comparable to El Grande's industrial real estate and built-to-suit park operations, though FINSA operates at significantly greater scale and geographic breadth.
