Solistica
First established in 1998, Solistica provides comprehensive logistics solutions to FEMSA affiliates and clients in Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Nicaragua and Panama.

This move merged the capabilities, values and talent of all our logistics operations and further consolidated our position as the leading integrated logistics services provider in the region.

Known for innovative services, a specialized IT platform and sustainable operations, Solistica transports, distributes and stores the products of more than 4,000 clients representing diverse industries—from consumer goods, retail and pharmaceuticals to manufacturing, electronics and automotive.
