During the inauguration, Querétaro Governor Mauricio Kuri González said Frialsa’s expansion reflects business confidence in the state and highlighted the importance of connectivity and logistics infrastructure for industrial growth. The governor emphasized that Querétaro maintains competitive advantages related to security, legal certainty, talent development, and air and road connectivity.

Luis Jorba Servitje, CEO of Frialsa Frigoríficos, said the investment is part of the company’s growth strategy and long-term vision in Mexico.

In turn, Luis Jorba Badia, Frialsa’s Director of Operations and Transformation, explained that the new center was designed under operational efficiency criteria from the planning stage. He detailed that the complex incorporates automation and improved controls to optimize inventories, traceability and thermal monitoring within the cold chain.
