The Third Coast
The unique location of the McAllen MSA/Reynosa corridor positions it as one of the most competitive shipping ports to and from Asia, Europe and South America. Considered by many companies as the third coast McAllen MSA/Reynosa is the most competitive shipping location. With consolidated distribution centers, globally produced products can be consolidated at one location to serve all North American markets.

World events over the last few years have changed the reliability of our traditional logistic systems. Today, smart companies are looking at alternatives. Mass customization, consumer centric products, and rapid response manufacturing require streamlined logistic solutions. Shippers are using the Mexican ports of Manzanillio and Altamira to save time and money. Shipments arriving at these ports are moved by truck or rail to a new dry port in Reynosa, Mexico or distribution warehouses in the McAllen MSA area. From here they are shipped to points across North America. This route saves the shipper 20-25% in transportation costs and a average of three days shipping time.

With the increase emphasis on logistics cost and speed to market, it is easy to see the benefits of being able to ship all global production to customers from a single McAllen MSA/Reynosa North American location, virtually eliminating the need for restaging or partial shipments to meet customer demands.

Through the McAllen Alliance region and Reynosa consolidated distribution centers, achieving product on demand response has not only become achievable, it is now the most realistic strategic direction for companies to meet the growing demand for customer driven manufacturing.
