Williams Scotsman International Inc., an international provider of modular space solutions, has expanded its operations in Mexico, through its Mexican subsidiaries, by opening offices in Queretaro and Tampico.

Located in the Bajio area, Queretaro is considered the geographic center of Mexico and the crossroads for imports from the northern border with destinations to Mexico City and the entire southern half of Mexico. The area is home to major agriculture and manufacturing plants, such as General Motors, Nissan and Honda.

Tampico, part of a dual city with Altamira located in the state of Tamaulipas, is a crucial area of development for the northern Gulf region of Mexico, accommodating several petrochemical plants and refineries, including Dupont. Altamira is an important port to Mexico's economy.

The new facilities officially opened in June and allow Williams Scotsman to extend its offering of products and facilities planning, as well as design and construction services, to customers located in Mexico, particularly in the petroleum and manufacturing industries.

Geographically, the positioning of the branches enables a more efficient delivery cost structure for Bajio area customers, while making mobile and modular space more accessible to Mexico's oil and petrochemical segments, according to the company.

“Opening these new branches demonstrates our commitment to this region of the world and allows us to operate in proximity to manufacturing, industrial and petroleum hubs in the area,” said Nick Polit, general manager for Williams Scotsman of Mexico. “Customers in the Bajio area will now have access to a comprehensive set of modular products and services.”
