Cantu Inc. inaugurated its first Distribution Center in Mexico. The unit, located in Guadalajara, marks the beginning of a new phase in the company’s international operations. The facility will be responsible for supplying wholesale customers across three strategic fronts: Mexico, the United States, and Central America.
The operation establishes Cantu Inc. as the first Brazilian company in the tire replacement sector to set up a distribution center in Mexican territory. The location will serve as the starting point to make service more agile and expand product offerings, particularly strengthening the presence of the Speedmax brand in these markets.
The new DC features a modern structure, designed to support high-performance operations. It spans 3,400 square meters, with the capacity to store 100,000 tires and handle over 10,000 units daily. The DC complements the existing commercial office in the country and reinforces the company’s commitment to proximity with local customers and partners.
“This is an important milestone in our journey outside Brazil. Being closer to the markets we want to serve allows us to deliver greater agility and efficiency. It is also a concrete way to advance our purpose: transforming paths into extraordinary journeys,” says Beto Cantu, CEO of Cantu Inc.
The Speedmax tires distributed from the new facility are developed by an R&D team in Brazil and are exclusive to Central America, Mexico, and the U.S. The operation will include models Speedmax Street H [passenger vehicles], Pangea [SUVs, Pickups, Jeeps, and Crossovers for Off-Road use with AT applications (all-terrain), RT (rugged-terrain) and MT (mud-terrain)]; Promax LHD, designed for trucks covering long distances; and Guardmax for other cargo vehicles.
“Guadalajara has a strategic location and is connected to routes that bring us closer to our key markets in this region of the Americas. This center strengthens our global logistics infrastructure and enhances our competitiveness. It is another solid step in Cantu Inc.’s international strategy,” highlights Alexandre Lopes, the company’s Director of International Business.
