Better response times are being demanded and the emphasis is changing from larger quantities of goods being stored and transported, to multiple orders being dispatched in small batches more frequently. The ability to store goods used in the production process closer to where the manufacturing takes place is increasingly evident. These structural spaces meanwhile are creating new patterns of demand for industrial space in terms of both location and specification.
The geographical scope of the distribution industry has been changing for some time, from national to regional, and widening into the global marketplace. At the same time e-commerce, just in time delivery, postal deregulation and changing transport policies are also placing more emphasis on local distribution
Infrastructure is the foundation of economic, industrial and social development. The multiplier effect of infrastructure development on the economy is significant and its role as a stimulator of economic growth is indisputable.
In such a competitive global market, it is important for businesses to choose the best location for their centralized distribution system. As many larger companies pioneer new logistics services and technologies, El Salvador is now firmly placed at the forefront of Central America’s logistics industry. It is strategically positioned to become the Distribution Hub for Central America.
“…El Salvador is very well located in the heart of Central America. El Salvador is going to be in an incredibly enviable position in the future, when infrastructure is totally completed, electricity supply at its best, and roads connecting all the way from Mexico down to Panama are in place…”
