Driving Growth Across Borders: How STG Logistics is Powering Intermodal in Mexico
For more than four decades, STG Logistics has been at the forefront of intermodal innovation, supporting industries that depend on reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable shipping solutions. Nowhere is this commitment clearer than in Mexico, where STG’s deep roots and strong partnerships are helping businesses thrive in a dynamic logistics landscape.
STG’s presence in Mexico dates back to the 1980s, when the company – then known as APL – began moving containers from Los Angeles to Mexico City to serve the automotive industry. Ford was one of its first customers, and STG quickly became a trusted partner for manufacturers navigating an evolving supply chain.
Over the years, as Mexico’s rail system privatized and new logistics players emerged, STG adapted and grew. Today, after decades of investment and strategic acquisitions, STG is uniquely positioned to offer robust cross-border and domestic intermodal solutions, with a focus on efficiency, reliability, and customer service.
At the heart of STG’s success in Mexico are its rail alliances. The company works closely with Union Pacific, Ferromex, and Ferrovalle, enabling seamless movement of goods across critical gateways.
Through these partnerships, STG connects major industrial hubs including Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, and beyond. This network provides customers with unmatched capacity, reliability, and the ability to plan more efficiently while keeping costs under control.
STG’s Mexico team combines decades of experience with a customer-first approach. From bilingual support and automated tracking reports to guaranteed capacity and competitive rates, every detail is designed to deliver value. Customers also benefit from STG’s own equipment—dedicated containers and chassis—as well as access to more than 80,000 railroad containers for cross-border service and thousands more for domestic routes.
This door-to-door service, paired with transparent communication, makes STG an indispensable partner for businesses across automotive, consumer goods, and appliance industries.
Sustainability is a growing priority for companies in Mexico and across North America. STG’s intermodal solutions offer a powerful alternative to over-the-road shipping, reducing CO2 emissions by more than 65 percent. Moving freight by rail not only helps businesses meet their environmental goals but also decreases highway congestion, lowers accident risks, and improves quality of life for drivers by reducing long hours behind the wheel.
As nearshoring trends reshape supply chains, STG sees tremendous opportunity for expansion. This year, the company is targeting a 25 percent increase in domestic intermodal services and plans to double its cross-border growth. Over the next five years, STG will focus on strengthening its presence in automotive, appliances, and consumer goods while investing in warehousing, infrastructure, and technology to meet market demand.
STG’s mission is to deliver consistent, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions for our customers in Mexico.
