Grupo Vasconia Exits Reorganization
Grupo Vasconia, a manufacturer of aluminum and steel home goods and other sectors, announced that a judge has terminated the reorganization process it and its subsidiary Almexa were undergoing, following the approval of their restructuring plan.
The company aims to focus its efforts on enhancing Almexa’s performance, which produces flat aluminum for construction, automotive, and household industries, as well as strengthening Vasconia Brands, a consumer goods manufacturer supplied by Almexa, though the latter is not part of the restructuring plan.
Grupo Vasconia stated that it will continue to provide updates on subsequent activities for the implementation of the agreed-upon restructuring.
Vesta Prepared for Industrial Real Estate Demand Surge
Corporación Inmobiliaria Vesta, one of Mexico’s largest industrial real estate firms, declared readiness to capitalize on the anticipated rise in demand for industrial spaces by year-end 2025 and throughout 2026, while cautioning of growing interest from multiple-sector companies to invest in the country.
For now, Vesta will maintain its focus on markets with more visible demand—such as Mexico City and Guadalajara—allocating capital for land acquisition and infrastructure development. The company plans to initiate some projects by the end of 2025, while carefully analyzing demand evolution in its operating sites during 2026 to make informed decisions.
A supporting factor for its outlook is that many of Vesta’s properties already have the necessary energy, giving it a key competitive advantage in markets where electricity availability can be a hurdle for companies interested in investments.
