Motion's new branch in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico.

Motion Industries has opened two new sales branches in Mexico. “We’re excited to fill an important gap in these areas with outstanding service to local customers,” said Eric Gonzalez, Motion’s senior vice president of Mexico and business development. “I believe we have the right talent in place, combined with Motion’s products, services, proven processes and proximity to customers as the right recipe for success, not only in Mexico but across all our markets.”

Both locations, which officially opened in late 2025, offer industrial products and fulfillment, plus field services and specialist support. The branches will also hold training opportunities for employees and customers.

“Expanding our footprint in Mexico reinforces our commitment to this vital market and enhances our ability to drive value for these customers,” James Howe, president of Motion, added. We remain dedicated to deepening our investment to fuel these regions’ economic growth, while delivering the excellent service our customers expect.”

Cuautlancingo, Puebla

Located in southeast Mexico, the Cuautlancingo branch is Motion’s southernmost Mexican location, providing service to customers in this region (Figure 1). The facility is connected by several highways and strategically located in a growing industrial park.

Piedras Negras, Coahuila

This branch is located in northeast Mexico. Motion’s Piedras Negras team will also serve the surrounding area including Acuña, Sabinas and Monclova, all in the north of Coahuila, providing service to customers in these areas.

A Positive Economic Impact for Northeast and Central Mexico

The Piedras Negras branch held an open house on November 28, while the Cuautlancingo branch hosted a customer appreciation event on January 23. In addition to providing services, the branches will create employment opportunities as teams expand with the business.

The two new facilities join a network of 14 established Motion branches across Mexico, further expanding the company’s service footprint in North America.
