Salon G-13: the industrial warehouse where IMMEX procurement closes contracts and the merch carries the part number from the printer

Salon G-13 occupies a converted industrial warehouse in the Vallejo-Azcapotzalco industrial corridor, 800 metres from the Ferreria metro station. It is a 500-square-metre double-height (9-metre) space with reinforced concrete floor to display machinery, two loading docks with levelled ramp, a 60-attendee conference room with a 6-metre LED screen, a 5-ton freight elevator with restricted hours, and a freight dock accepting 30-ton trailers. Inside these walls the IMMEX manufacturing associations have staged industrial expos to show the Bajio and northern Mexico plant capacity to international buyers, the CANACINTRA and CONCAMIN clusters have run procurement seminars presenting the new certified suppliers, the automotive and aerospace component manufacturers have held demo days, the CDMX and Queretaro additive manufacturing hubs have run manufacturing fairs in collaboration with the Ministry of Economy, and the certification bodies (ISO 9001, IATF 16949, AS9100) have offered training days to plant technical staff. What separates Salon G-13 from a comparable industrial hall is that the merch carries the part number from the printer to enter the plant with the first production batch.

Salon G-13 logistics, access and chain of custody

Salon G-13 loads through the east side loading dock: the freight elevator accepts up to 5-ton loads by appointment with restricted hours, and the 30-ton trailer has its own levelled ramp with independent hours. Delicate freight (mini-tool sets, quality manuals, batch-number pieces) moves in a closed cart with uniformed staff and sits in the warehouse store until formal hand-over. Salon G-13's back-of-house has three separate zones: the production workshop (where the merch is staged on work tables), the warehouse store (where the remaining material sits in sealed boxes bearing the plant's seal) and the press room (where per-OEM delivery is signed).

For expos with international buyer presence from the US and Canada, we handle invoicing in USD at the Banco de Mexico FIX rate from the day before the expo, with USMCA compliance and deduction support as Marketing, Public Relations or Corporate Communications expense in the plant or association fiscal close. For expos with Ministry of Economy and certification-body presence, we handle industrial-promotion protocol compliance when the plant bills as a State supplier. The merch chain of custody is documented with signature, time stamp and photo at every checkpoint: dock entry, operations inspection, store transfer, buyer signature at the close of the day, post-event pickup.

Salon G-13 confidentiality, compliance and restrictions

Salon G-13 runs under strict host-plant and IMMEX-cluster rules: no phones in the machinery display zone, no merch carrying electromagnetic interference elements (plant measurement equipment is sensitive), no large bags inside the plant workshop (buyers use the staff lockers), no POP material with competitor logos of the host plant (when the expo is exclusive), no outside food or beverages beyond the Salon G-13 kitchen service. For sessions that call for limited-edition merchandising (lead auditor's signed quality manual, metallic piece stamped with the first batch part number, roller pen with the standard year), we coordinate with the plant operations team to ensure the piece clears the security protocol, the press protocol and the broadcast protocol when the day is closed and not transmitted externally.

For SAT invoicing we issue CFDI 4.0 with the 16% IVA breakdown and deduction support as Marketing, Public Relations or Corporate Communications expense depending on how the merch is used. For plants with IMMEX operations or US exposure, we handle complementary invoicing in USD or EUR with USMCA compliance support when the merch crosses the border as part of the disclosure material for corporate clients resident abroad. For plants with dual listings (BMV and NYSE/Nasdaq), we handle bilingual (es/en) invoicing and USMCA compliance when the quality manual crosses the border as part of the disclosure material for corporate clients resident abroad. Merch ships with carta porte 3.0 when interstate or international transit applies, with the foreign trade complement when applicable, and with the payment complement when the plant pays in instalments.
