GMexico Transportes (GMXT) increased its revenues from its Industrial segment by 22% year-on-year to 4.608 billion pesos, the most dynamic among its businesses.

Industrials is the most diversified business segment, with markets such as the paper industry, white goods, machinery, the beer industry and new railroad cars, among others.

The company’s total sales in 2022 showed an increase of 6.6%, totaling Ps. 54.572 billion.

In particular, the Industrials segment posted fourth-quarter growth of 19% in revenues and 17% in cars, mainly due to the continued recovery in demand for new rail cars after the major difficulties derived from the Covid-19 pandemic.
