For 25 years, we have laid down a route of achievements, which has proudly put us in first place nationally in terms of number of clients, sales and shipments transported.

Each one of the 3,500 individuals that comprise this company can say: delivery is our specialty.

1979
The first Mexican parcel delivery company was founded on August 8, 1979 with a name destined to make history: Estafeta.

Its founder, Gerd Grimm, a businessman with a long career in the freight and international delivery business, decided to introduce the innovative door-to-door service in Mexico.

On our first day we handled a single delivery... 25 years later, we are operating 100,000 shipments a day to over 2,500 destinations.

The Eighties
With two products: Sporadic and Contract, a small group of people entered the market, and things started to move...

We had to get to more and more destinations within set time frames, no matter what. So, we put a great deal of effort and creativity into building a network of offices and operation centers throughout Mexico, at the accelerated pace of shipment growth.

At the outset, we used public transportation but quickly realized the importance of having our own vehicles for both long-distance and local routes.

With the first team of salespeople, a broader product portfolio and a successful advertising campaign, we set out to win over the market... A phrase then started echoing throughout Mexico: “Tu próximo envío... ¡estafétalo!” (Estafeta your next shipment!).

The Nineties
The outstanding expansion of the first ten years called for a more structured organization, able to generate sustained growth.

During this decade we not only consolidated our ground operation but also incorporated the air operation and improved our logistical network with state-of-the-art Exchange and Operation Centers, strategically located in San Luis Potosí, La Tinaja (Veracruz), Tepozotlán (Mexico State) and elsewhere.

We have also made technological innovation our main competitive advantage. Computerization means added value for our clients with the electronic tracking system, interactive command and Estafeta Internet site, backed by a dynamic telecommunications networ.

The New Millenium
In this new era, we have begun to soar... with our own cargo airline strengthening our logistical capability. We can now transport more shipments to more distant places, more quickly.

We are committed to providing world-class services with ISO 9001 certification, through the implementation of commercial strategies, the establishment of strategic alliances and the development of new services and businesses geared to electronic commerce. At Estafeta, we are prepared to make the most of the opportunities presented by the new economy and remain the best choice in the shipment market.
