Coppel's Distribution Center Starts Operations in Monterrey

This modern Cedis, occupying a space of over 15,000 square meters, has the capacity to house up to 22,000 cubic meters of merchandise. Its primary objective is to enhance Coppel's omnichannel offer, especially given the significant growth of its digital channel during the pandemic. With these facilities, Coppel aims to achieve 321,000 annual deliveries, manage the inventory of 120 stores, and serve more than 650,000 customers in the Metropolitan Area of Monterrey, according to an official statement. Regarding investments, Coppel will allocate over 17 million dollars to adjustments and leasing of the building over the next decade. Vesta, for its part, has invested 12.9 million in a LEED-certified construction, contributing to the environment by preventing the emission of more than 86,000 kilograms of CO2. 

Domingo Soto, real estate director of Grupo Coppel, shared future expansion plans: "In February 2022, Vesta will provide us with an industrial warehouse in Tijuana, Baja California. Here, we will establish a second Cedis to serve the northern region of Mexico." This second facility represents an investment of over 23 million dollars and will allow Coppel to manage the inventory of 38 stores and serve more than 100,000 customers in areas such as Tijuana, Ensenada, and Tecate.Lorenzo D. Berho, CEO of Vesta, emphasized the strategic vision behind these investments: "By optimizing locations and using energy efficiently, we strengthen Coppel as an essential player in e-commerce." To contextualize the impact of these investments, it's relevant to mention that Coppel recorded a 345% increase in digital sales in 2020. In 2021, they have experienced a growth of 27.5% compared to the previous year, and a rise of 50% is projected for 2022.
