"A faster, more cost-efficient route from Asia to North American Market, beginning at the port of Lazaro Cardenas..."

The U.S. imported more than 986 billion from APEC countries in 2008, and that number is only expected to grow over the next decade as the demand for high quality, low cost goods increases.

A faster, more cost efficient route from Asia to the North American Market - beginning at the Port of Lazaro Cardenas on Mexico's Pacific coast and ending at the new Oradel Industrial Rail Center in the heart of the Nuevo Laredo Tradeport is now becoming a reality. Adjacent to, and connected with the Oradel Industrial Center's existing facilities, construction has begun on a 620 acre, Oradel Industrial Rail Center which will be fully operational by the spring of 2008.

This facility has been designed to deliver all of the services required of a fully equipped, multimodal facility for the on and off loading of containerized freight, in conjunction with the development of an extensive in-bond area for built to suit, logistics and manufacturing operations. This coupled with direct access to on-site, Mexican Customs facilities promises to make the Oradel Industrial Rail Center, the first development of its kind along the U.S. - Mexican border.
