El Salvador has taken a significant step in strengthening its industrial and logistics capacity with the inauguration of NOVABES, the country’s first Free Trade Zone dedicated to the food industry, developed by Grupo Bimbo.
The new project represents a strategic investment aimed at expanding national production capabilities while enhancing El Salvador’s position as a regional hub for trade and logistics. Authorities highlighted that this initiative will contribute to job creation, economic growth, and increased competitiveness in the food manufacturing sector.
Officials from Dirección General de Aduanas de El Salvador emphasized the importance of modern customs processes in facilitating trade and supporting large-scale investments. They noted that efficient customs systems play a key role in strengthening the country’s productive development and enabling smoother international operations.
NOVABES is expected to attract further investment into El Salvador’s industrial ecosystem, reinforcing the country’s appeal as a destination for global companies seeking to expand in Central America.
With projects like this, El Salvador continues to promote economic development through innovation, infrastructure, and strategic partnerships, positioning itself as a competitive player in regional and international markets.
