American Marconi Wireless News - StePacPPC Opens New Regional Office in Hermosillo, Mexico

The new office, located at Carretera a Bahia de Kino KM 12, Número 1279-J, CP 83210, Col. El Llano, Hermosillo, Sonora, began operations in November 2025. Focused exclusively on produce customers, it supports growers and packers across the states of Sonora, Sinaloa, Durango, and Chihuahua, providing a full range of services including sales, customer service, technical support, logistics coordination, and local invoicing and collections. By holding inventory in-region, including bulk bags, clear BOPP roll stock, stock retail bags, and the new PAZ zipper pouches, the office enables same-day shipments within Sonora and one-day delivery to Sinaloa, reducing freight transit times and freight costs while eliminating exposure to additional cross-border tariffs.

Leading the new office is Daniel Peña, a proven agribusiness professional with over 13 years of experience in management, planning, operations, supply chain, and sales marketing. A native of Hermosillo, Daniel has worked directly in the fields, packing sheds, and offices of the region's produce industry. His career spans roles at Aliansa (nine years) and Agrofesa (four years), and he holds degrees from ITESM / Tecnológico de Monterrey and IESEG / École de Commerce in Lille, France. He leads by example through his work ethic, dedication, and ability to motivate others, and brings firsthand knowledge of the regional market, its customers, and key players to the role.

Joe Bradford, Vice President Sales Produce at PPC FLEX, said: "Speed to market is key for us in LATAM, and this is a step in the right direction. StePacPPC is committed to long-term investment in LATAM through local teams, local inventory, and local service, designed to help customers operate more efficiently and competitively."

Daniel Peña said: "I am extremely thankful for the opportunity. I am glad to have chosen StePacPPC to continue my career and I look forward to growing and consolidating business across Mexico and beyond."

The Hermosillo office reflects StePacPPC's ongoing commitment to expanding its regional presence and bringing its produce customers closer to the expertise, inventory, and service they need.
