PIMSA and our entire team would like to thank WDF President, Cesar Ponce, for his effort and time in our Think Tank as part of our Industrial Intelligence Initiative; building a bridge to improve our industrial community.
 
Cesar is one of our best and brightest.
 
Please accept this present as a token of our appreciation.
 
Gracias Cesar, boundless capacity!

2016: VISION WITH STRENGTH!
 
This morning had an early meeting with members of our Industrial Intelligence Think Tank Group with ZGlobal Energy’s Ramon Gonzalez, a young executive of this Solar Energy Company.
 
Liked his phrase “longevity is the key”, I relate this to PIMSA’s “VISION WITH STRENGTH” as this coming 2016 turns 50 years of servicing manufacturers from all over the Globe.
 
PIMSA, means with passion and vision to continue in 2016 to complement our present Tenants with their continuous expansions and to guide World Manufacturers into a Soft Landing Process of establishing their operations here, with a solid and ethical Industrial Park.
 
Yes we could cut corners in setting up manufacturing facilities, but it is our experience of more than 49 years that a successful and profitable operation is a result of meeting those intangibles and Mexico’s procedures, staying away from a “no problem” approach or under table practices.
 
Longevity means success, we have done well in past years with our Tenants, of course there is always room for improvement and 2016 will be a good year, a year to expand and why not to reinvent in some areas.
 
For those seeking good production, competitive cost and young aggressive people, PIMSA has the experience and longevity!

Tradition and climate usually dictate what grows where in the wine world. Napa is Cabernet country because the climate, by and large, is amenable to ripening the grapes. The same can be said for Nebbiolo in Piemonte, Chardonnay in Chablis, Syrah in Hermitage.

The award-winning video team at PostandFly.com.mx continue to produce some powerfully-evocative short videos focusing on Mexico’s extraordinary scenery.

Many of the individual clips in this video were filmed in Baja California Sur, with occasional forays into Chihuahua and central and southern Mexico:

Mexico’s national oil company Petróleos Mexicanos is opening its first gas stations in the United States with five inaugural store right here in the Lone Star State.

Known as Pemex, the Mexican oil company opened its first gas station at 9722 Park Place Boulevard in Houston on Thursday morning. Four more stations are planned to open in Houston this month.

Although Pemex has a refinery in the Houston suburb of Deer Park, the organization reported that the five gas stations are franchised and do not sell their brand of gasoline.

The newly opened Pemex gas station includes a fully-stocked convenience store and a “Taco Shack” restaurant.

Pemex officials said Houston was chosen as their launching point due to its high Hispanic population, and in particular Mexican population. If all goes well, they could expand their franchising opportunities in other markets.

“This pilot program will allow us to judge the impact of the Pemex brand against others and will identify business opportunities as part of our evaluation process to enter other external markets,” Pemex officials said in a statement.

Although all Pemex gas stations in Mexico are full service, the Texas locations will be self-service. Pemex officials said the gas stations in Texas are being opened as part of Mexico’s energy reforms, which have opened the nation’s energy markets to foreign competition and investment for the first time in more than 70 years.

Observers say the franchise in Texas could be an important test for Pemex as Mexico seeks to open its lucrative gas station market over the next few years.

Starting in 2016, foreign companies will be able to obtain a permit to set up service stations in Mexico where they will be able to sell fuels from any company. Private companies will be able to freely import refined oil products into Mexico in 2017. The Mexican government will remove all price controls on gasoline and diesel in 2018.
