According to the company, the move is part of its broader growth strategy and is intended to strengthen support for customers and suppliers throughout the region. Palmer Holland stated that the expansion includes investments in infrastructure, personnel, and legal and operational capabilities to support industrial markets in Mexico.

Tim Skufca, CEO of Palmer Holland, said the expansion reflects the company’s North American growth strategy and is intended to improve response times, technical support, and supply chain continuity for customers and supplier partners in the region.

The company reported that key elements of the expansion include establishment of a legal entity in Mexico, warehouse operations in Querétaro, locally based account managers, Spanish-speaking operational personnel, and support for the company’s industrial business segments and product categories.
