Colimed: New Distribution Center in Chihuahua

At Coliman Bananas, we proudly celebrated the inauguration marking the start of operations of our new banana and papaya ripening Distribution Center in the state of Chihuahua, as part of a strategic partnership with Medfrut, a recognized fruit and vegetable distributor in the region. This alliance gives rise to Colimed, a joint venture formed by Coliman Bananas and Medfrut with the objective of strengthening the commercialization of bananas and papayas throughout the state of Chihuahua.

The new ripening Distribution Center is equipped to carry out specialized processes that allow precise control at every stage of ripening, ensuring that the fruit reaches the optimal point of color, flavor, and texture. With this infrastructure, Colimed will be able to offer the market fresh, consistent, and high-quality products, aligned with the standards that distinguish Coliman Bananas at both national and international levels.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was led by Teresa Castillo, General Director of Medfrut, and Jorge Aguilar, General Director of Coliman Bananas, symbolizing the formal launch of this partnership, which represents a key step in the expansion and strengthening of the logistics and commercial networks of both organizations.

Within this partnership, Coliman Bananas contributes its productive expertise, experience, and product quality—built over years of work in the field and across the supply chain—while Medfrut brings its extensive knowledge of the regional market and strong logistical capabilities. Together, this synergy enables the efficient and timely fulfillment of the needs of the Chihuahua market.

The main objective of this alliance is to deliver the freshness, quality, and reliability of Coliman Bananas’ bananas and papayas to the tables of final consumers throughout the state of Chihuahua. This project responds to a need identified through an in-depth analysis of the regional market, which revealed the lack of a solid, specialized, and reliable option for supplying these fruits, ensuring continuity, service, and strong customer support.

The inauguration was attended by collaborators from Coliman Bananas and Medfrut, as well as partners, friends, and family members of the shareholders, in a symbolic event that reflects not only business growth, but also the bonds of collaboration, trust, and friendship built over years of working together—now solidified with the start of Colimed’s operations in Chihuahua.
