在墨西哥这一全球卫生纸行业巨头云集的市场，SCA 着眼增长、创新以及品牌产品，始终保持强大的竞争力。《世界卫生纸》前往 SCA 位于墨西哥城附近的 Sahagún 工厂了解最新信息。 通往 SCA Sahagún 工厂的道路壮丽无比。沿路风光仿佛令人置身于描绘墨西哥内陆风光的影片：宽阔的道路两旁是绵延数里的巨型仙人掌，更远处是一望无际的树林、沙土平原和山峦。就在到达工厂前，司机用西班牙语以及夸张的手势指着一条道路，这条路的尽头就是闻名遐迩的特奥蒂瓦坎金字塔。特奥蒂瓦坎金字塔矗立在墨西哥盆地之中，位于墨西哥城东北方约 30 英里处。金字塔建于公元前 300 年前后，是一座巨大城市的中心建筑。时至今日，这座城市仍然笼罩着神秘的气息，建城的目的和用途仍是一个谜。 · 不过这种神秘感并没有蔓延至 SCA 的工厂，因为其产量在全球卫生纸市场中占有不可忽视的分量。SCA工厂占地面积超过 100.3 万平方米，在规模和结构上与位于西班牙的 SCA Valls 工厂现代设施旗鼓相当。虽然 Sahagún 坐落于专门划定的工业区域内，但四周并无其他企业。工厂经理 Roberto Deleón 在接受采访并陪同我们巡视时告诉我们：“我们企业未来的扩展空间十分充足。”这位经理笑容可掬地迎接我们的到来，在会面过程中也是笑声不断。这座崭新的工厂于三年前才投入生产，是 2.1 亿美元投资的一部分。此后，投资 1000 万美元的全新配送中心项目启动，按照 Deleón 的话说，配送中心的落成将帮助工厂“提高成本效率，为市场需求做好准备”。配送中心每月将向墨西哥和拉美地区发货量超过...
