Puerto Verde Holdings reignites the Mexico–Texas Executive Dialogue to strengthen infrastructure, energy, and cross-border connectivity

After months of preparation and coordinated efforts, Puerto Verde Holdings successfully reignited the Mexico–Texas Executive Dialogue, bringing together leaders from both nations to discuss the shared priorities of infrastructure, transportation, connectivity, and energy along the Texas–Mexico border — one of the most critical economic regions in North America.

Puerto Verde Holdings is developing the Puerto Verde Global Trade Bridge, an innovative 24/7 commercial crossing strategically located near Piedras Negras, Coahuila, and Eagle Pass in Maverick County (Texas), designed to streamline cargo flow between Mexico and Texas.

By owning the land and right-of-way on both sides of the border, Puerto Verde has the flexibility to build a modular inspection system that expands with market demand, offering faster crossings, reduced emissions, and a sustainable alternative powered by solar energy and water-recovery systems. Expected to begin construction by mid-2026 and start operations by 2028, Puerto Verde represents a next-generation logistics corridor built to enhance efficiency, resilience, and environmental responsibility in North American trade.

The event was hosted at the residence of Rubén Garibay, Chairman of Puerto Verde Holdings, who emphasized that

“Beyond just a border, we are a growing and united community that can achieve great benefits for our region.”

From the private sector, Puerto Verde Holdings invited government authorities to establish a coordinated work route that benefits communities on both sides. Participants agreed that collaboration between the public and private sectors will be vital to sustaining competitiveness and job creation through infrastructure and energy development.

Texas and Mexico share a 1,254-mile border and a robust partnership. In 2024, bilateral trade reached US $280 billion, with energy-related commerce playing a central role. Strengthening collaboration in energy and infrastructure was identified as key to driving long-term regional prosperity.

Attendees included Carlos Ealy, Assistant Secretary of State for Mexican and Border Affairs with the Office of the Texas Secretary of State, representing Secretary Jane Nelson; Alex Meade, Commissioner at the Texas Department of Transportation; and representatives from the Railroad Commission of Texas, Texas Association of Business, IBC Bank, BBVA, and the North American Development Bank (NADBank).

The Mexican delegation was led by Altagracia Gómez Sierra, head of the Consejo para el Desarrollo Económico Regional y Relocalización (CADERR), alongside officials from the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores (SRE), the Secretaría de Infraestructura, Comunicaciones y Transportes (SICT), and Jael Durán, General Director of index Nacional, representing the manufacturing sector.

Arturo García, Vice President of Mexico Operations at Puerto Verde Holdings, described the initiative as “A great step toward the future,” underscoring the importance of connecting governments, companies, and communities to drive the next stage of growth. Puerto Verde Holdings expressed gratitude to the authorities of Mexico and Texas and to the steering committee for making this milestone possible. The company reaffirmed its mission:

“Collaboration is the foundation of sustainable growth. Together, we are building the infrastructure that powers our shared prosperity.”
