Williams Scotsman International, Inc., a leading international provider of modular space solutions, has expanded its operations in the Mexican marketplace, through its Mexican subsidiaries, by opening two new branch offices in Querétaro and Tampico. Located in the Bajio area, Querétaro is considered the geographic center of Mexico and the crossroads for imports from the northern border with destinations to Mexico City and the entire southern half of Mexico. The area is home to major agriculture and manufacturing plants, such as General Motors, Nissan and Honda, and PEMEX refineries. Tampico, part of a dual city with Altamira located in the state of Tamaulipas, is a crucial area of development for the northern Gulf region of Mexico, accommodating several petrochemical plants and refineries, including Dupont. Altamira is an important port to Mexico's economy.

The new branches officially opened in June and allow Williams Scotsman to extend its offering of products and facilities planning as well as design and construction services to customers located in Mexico - particularly in the petroleum and manufacturing industries. Geographically, the positioning of the branches enables a more efficient delivery cost structure for Bajio area customers while making mobile and modular space more accessible to Mexico's oil and petrochemical segments.

Adoption of prefabricated modular buildings continues to be an important trend within the manufacturing industry. According to an article in the Houston Chronicle, the aeronautical sector in particular is expected to play an active role in Mexico's economy while creating additional job opportunities. Bombardier Aerospace, the world's third largest aircraft manufacturer, recently began construction on a new plant in Querétaro. Portable buildings and in-plant offices offer an efficient solution for manufacturing and transportation businesses, contributing to effective production timelines, output and customer satisfaction.

?Opening these new branches demonstrates our commitment to this region of the world and allows us to operate in close proximity to manufacturing, industrial and petroleum hubs in the area,? said Nick Polit, general manager for Williams Scotsman of Mexico. ?Customers in the Bajio area will now have access to a comprehensive set of modular products and services.?
