The Roof Behind Mexico’s Mega Distribution Hub

Stretching across 1.94 million square feet, equivalent to 25 soccer fields, or nearly three times the size of Mexico City’s Zócalo, this distribution center stands as a monumental achievement in logistics infrastructure. As the largest of its kind ever built in Mexico, its design reflects the scale, efficiency, and innovation required by this type of building.

For a facility of this magnitude, performance, durability, and sustainability were non-negotiable. Grupo CUBIMSA, a certified Elevate contractor, was chosen to lead the roofing installation. Their challenge? Deliver a system capable of managing massive surface area while meeting energy efficiency goals and enhancing natural lighting, all without compromising structural integrity.

Installing a roofing system on a structure of this magnitude demanded exceptional coordination and logistical precision. This was made possible through the close collaboration between Grupo CUBIMSA and ELEVATE Latin America Division, working as one unified team to get the right materials delivered on time.

Given the massive volume of roofing components required, it was essential that manufacturing, planning, and logistics were perfectly aligned. This complex orchestration was led by the Elevate Latin America and The Caribbean Sales and Customer Service teams, whose efforts ensured materials arrived exactly when they were needed. Any deviation could have disrupted installation timelines and impacted the overall project delivery.

It was, in many ways, a symphony of teamwork, each department playing its part with precision to ensure the success of the installation.
