Grupo México is a leading Mexican conglomerate primarily engaged in mining and infrastructure. The company is one of the world’s largest copper producers, extracting and processing copper ore along with significant quantities of silver, zinc and other minerals. Its mining operations are organized under Southern Copper Corporation and ASARCO, both of which oversee a network of mines, concentrators and smelters across North America.
In addition to its core mining business, Grupo México has a substantial transportation division that operates the largest rail network in Mexico through its subsidiaries Ferromex and Ferrosur. This rail system transports minerals, industrial goods and agricultural products, linking major ports and inland production centers. The company also provides port terminal services and logistics solutions, supporting both its own operations and those of third-party customers.
Founded in the early 1940s, Grupo México evolved from a regional mining concern into a diversified industrial group. The company underwent major corporate restructuring in the 1990s, leading to its modern holding-company structure. Germán Larrea Mota-Velasco, who has served as chairman and CEO for many years, has guided the firm through expansion in both mining and transportation.
Grupo México’s operations span Mexico, the United States and Peru, where it holds and operates key copper and polymetallic mines. Through its integrated approach—combining extraction, processing, rail transport and port services—the company aims to optimize value across the supply chain and maintain a leading position in North American mining and infrastructure sectors.
