With an investment of 1.4 billion pesos, Arca Continental, one of the world's leading Coca-Cola filler, has opened his new sales center in Tonalá, Jalisco, which is now the largest of this kind in the global network of the company. This project is part of the company's strategy for sustainable growth and logistical expansion in the western region of Mexico.
The new facility will manage sales services for over 40,000 customers in Tonalá, Guadalajara, Tlaqua Paque, Tlajomulco and EL Salto and is expected to create up to 1,200 direct and indirect jobs in the eastern part of the Metropitan area of Arca Continental.
The sales center comprises 14,200 square meters and has a storage capacity of 1.25 billion physical cases and over 40,000 pallets and operates 245 sales routes that operate all sales channels. It is remarkable for its sustainable infrastructure, including rainwater collection systems, water treatment and a total of 580 solar collectors that cover an area of 1,000 square meters. These panels produce 300 kWh of clean energy and prevent around 534 tons of CO₂ emissions annually.
The opening ceremony event was cited by Pablo Lemus, governor of Jalisco, Sergio Chávez, Mayor of Tonalá, together with other state cabinet officials, federal and state legislators as well as the municipal authorities.
Jorge H. Santos, chairman of the Board of Arca Continental, emphasized: “The sales center of Tonalá reflects who we are – a constantly growing company that generates and shares. At Arca Continental, we confirm our commitment to the communities that we serve through a sustainable business model that creates value for everyone involved.”
With this new facility opening, Arca Continental strengthens his leadership in the beverage industry in Mexico and works positively under a sustainable, profitable and future -free business model that is influenced in every region in which it works.
