Time:matters expands emergency courier services in Mexico
Emergency logistics provider time:matters has expanded its global courier network with the addition of two terminals in Mexico, tailored to demand from the automotive, semiconductor and high-tech industries, amongst others.
The two new facilities are located at Mexico City International Airport Benito Juárez (MEX) and Felipe Ángeles International Airport (NLU). They have been set up in partnership with Lufthansa Cargo Servicios Logísticos de México (LCSLM).
The company said the operations provide “premium handling services for highly flexible transport solutions tailored to sensitive and urgent shipments”. That includes for spare and service parts, high-value goods and hazardous commodities. Services include dedicated handling, personalised data flows to customs brokers and consignees, and 24/7 operational availability. Handling time for consignments has been halved from six to three hours, according to time:matters.
“The new terminals in Mexico add a strategically important hub to our network in Latin America,” said Stefan Fölsing, managing director of time:matters Courier Terminals. “With dedicated handling processes and personalised control, we ensure faster and more reliable handling for key industries.”
High demand for the parts supplied by Mexicoʼs tier one suppliers, where 87% production goes for export, is combined with ongoing trade disruption and border delays that require time critical logistics services.

The Mexican courier operations are linked to time:matters’ courier terminals in Frankfurt and Munich in Germany, and Shanghai in China. In April this year the company also opened offices in Bangkok, Thailand and Penang, Malaysia to boost regional connectivity and expand across south-east Asia. It also added an office near Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France with automotive and semiconductor two of the key industries served.
