MEXICO CITY, July 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ProLogis (NYSE: PLD), a leading global provider of distribution facilities, announced today it has signed two new lease agreements in June 2009 totaling 405,000 square feet (37,600 square meters) for recently developed distribution space in Mexico.

"We are continuing to see production lines move south of the Mexico/United States border in an effort to reduce costs and tap a highly skilled labor force," said Silvano Solis, ProLogis managing director and head of Mexico operations. "In turn, this helps create demand for modern light manufacturing, assembly and distribution space. We are pleased to announce these transactions with our new, well-established customers, who were attracted by our new facilities' high-quality and desirable locations."

The transactions included leases with:

    --  Autotek Magna, one of the world's largest automotive parts
        suppliers, which leased approximately 172,000 square feet of recently
        completed distribution space at ProLogis Park Izcalli Building One,
        located in Cuautitlan Izcalli, Mexico, approximately 20 miles north of
        Mexico City. Autotek Magna will use the space to stamp and assemble auto
        parts for Ford Motor Company's fuel-efficient Fiesta and distribute
        the parts to Ford's nearby manufacturing facility. This is the
        first lease agreement between Autotek Magna and ProLogis.

    --  MCS Industries, North America's leading manufacturer of picture
        frames and wall decor, which leased approximately 233,000 square feet at

        positioned and surrounded by an abundant labor pool and enables direct
