Salon C-10 sits on the 4th floor of the corporate complex where the crisis protocol of BMV-listed corporates and IMMEX subsidiaries with US parents gets activated: 12 horseshoe-arranged seats, a lectern for the CEO directing the crisis, a six-metre LED screen with real-time monitoring of media and social networks, an annexed room with a secure phone line for calls with the FBI, Federal Police or regulatory authorities where applicable, a sealed chamber for sensitive documentation and a closed kitchen with 24-hour service. This is where reputational crises that escalate nationally get managed, regulatory crises get handled (SAT visit, CNBV visit, COFECE visit), cybersecurity incidents with operational impact get coordinated, industrial accidents get communicated, product recalls get rolled out, compliance incidents get documented and media crises that threaten the corporate valuation get contained. What separates Salon C-10 is the war room ritual: the committee kit enters with escort, exits signed for by each member at close of crisis and lets the head of communications archive the minutes without the merch pulling attention from the monitoring.
Production of 6 to 12 pieces delivered within the first 4 hours of crisis activation. Leather folder with biometric lock, numbered notepad, roller pen with the corporate isotype, encrypted 16 GB USB drive holding the crisis protocol and the communication plan, magnetic ID card with photo. Delivery with the CEO and corporate communications head's signature.
Production of 1 to 3 pieces delivered to the communications firm or crisis consultant supporting the committee. Leather or wooden box with the corporate isotype, bound book of the crisis protocol, engraved plaque with the incident date, paperweight with the isotype. Discreet handling by the operations staff and delivery at the firm lobby at close of the war room.
Uniforms for the crisis committee, the communications team and the operations personnel of Salon C-10. Italian-cut two-piece suit in graphite or navy for six people, white shirt, discreet tie, photo and war room badge, smartwatch with the agenda synced. Professional tailoring and delivery within 4 hours of crisis activation.
Production of 4 to 8 pieces delivered to the crisis committee at close of the incident. Wooden or leather box with the corporate isotype, engraved plaque with the incident name, CEO-signed book with thank-you letter, curated piece (aged wine, aged tequila, fountain pen). Delivery synced to the incident closing ceremony.
Salon C-10 operates with an independent 4th-floor freight dock: the side dock takes a 3.5-tonne van on continuous hours when the war room is activated. Access requires pre-registration, a complex-issued badge and a signed floor log; the sensitive documentation is moved straight from the dock to the sealed chamber without going through the lobby. The Salon C-10 operations team delivers the war room material with corporate escort and is responsible for safeguarding the material not delivered to the floor chamber. The annexed room with a secure phone line is used for calls with the FBI, Federal Police, CNBV, Bancaria e Industrial police or the corporate counsel when the crisis needs real-time consultation.
For crises with the international firm (typically from the US, UK or Europe), we invoice in USD at the Banco de México FIX exchange rate of the day before, with USMCA compliance and support for deduction as a Crisis Management or Corporate Communications expense in the corporate fiscal close. For IMMEX subsidiary crises with operational impact in the US, we issue complementary invoicing in USD and USMCA compliance when the crisis protocol crosses the border as part of the parent's compliance archive. The merch custody chain is documented with signature, time and seal at each control point: dock intake, operations inspection, transfer to the sealed chamber, delivery to the corporate CEO, extended restocking, post-crisis pickup, return of surplus to the corporate.
Salon C-10 has operating rules the merch must respect: no mobile phone use in the room during media monitoring, no merch items with unauthorised electronic elements, no backpacks or bags in the room (committee members use the sealed chamber for their gear), no POP material bearing third-party logos when the communications strategy is being discussed, no food or beverages other than the 4th-floor kitchen service. For crises requiring limited-edition merchandising (outgoing CEO signed book, crisis-survived anniversary paperweight, protocol year plaque), we coordinate with the complex operations area to make sure the piece complies with the security protocol, the electronic isolation protocol and the crisis archival protocol.
For SAT invoicing we issue CFDI 4.0 with 16% IVA breakdown and support for deduction as a Crisis Management, Corporate Communications or Investor Relations expense, depending on the merch use. For corporates with IMMEX or US operations we issue complementary invoicing in USD or EUR and support USMCA compliance when the crisis protocol crosses the border as part of the parent's compliance archive. For groups with dual listing (BMV and NYSE/Nasdaq) we issue bilingual (es/en) invoicing and USMCA compliance when the war room material crosses the border as part of the 8-K incident disclosure archive. The merch ships with carta porte 3.0 when interstate or international transit applies, with the foreign trade complement where applicable, and with the payment complement when the corporate pays in instalments.
