Gateway to Mexico
Thirty-five years of building bridges across the border
Built on trust and steady work
In 1989, local businessmen saw what others missed. They built CODEM on a simple idea: that the border could be a place where business thrived through honest partnership. Thirty-five years later, that vision has become real.
The Gateway to Mexico Realized
CODEM stands as the bridge between two nations, a place where commerce flows naturally and partnerships run deep. What began as an idea has become the region's most trusted connection.
