On the eve of a new millenium, doing business on a global scale has become increasingly important, and Mexican businesses have become major players.

The "Comarca Lagunera", a region located in Mexico between the states of Coahuila and Durango, is an urban area of 3 interconnected cities: Torreon, Gomez Palacio and Lerdo. The Comarca is the largest milk producing region of Mexico and it has drawn national attention recently thanks to its fast growing industrial and agricultural base. Simply known as "La Laguna", this region offers the right combination of geographical location and industrial infrastructure.

"La Laguna" boasts world class hotels, reknown universities, great museums and cultural centers as well as large shopping malls, a modern railway system, an international airport and a highway network along with vast expanses of green vegetation. It also includes many industrial parks with all the modern facilities and services that today's industry demands.
