WOOD DALE, Ill., October 18, 2023 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - International logistics firm Gebrüder Weiss has inaugurated a new facility in Laredo, Texas, located approximately 4.3 miles from the World Trade Crossing International Bridge. The move is part of the company’s larger U.S. expansion strategy, aimed at enhancing its logistics network along the Southern border. The Laredo branch will offer a range of services including road, air, and sea logistics, as well as warehousing and brokerage operations.

Trade between the U.S. and Mexico reached a record $779.3 billion in 2022, with Laredo serving as a key node, facilitating 40% of the trade between the two nations. In response to the growing demand for nearshoring, which has caused significant shifts in global manufacturing and distribution patterns, Gebrüder Weiss has strategically positioned its new 16,200-square-foot warehouse at 14410 Industry Avenue. The facility is equipped to handle both northbound and southbound cargo and will offer support to the roughly 15,000 commercial trucks that cross the border daily. The warehouse is also hazmat-certified and will handle bonded and general cargo, with Mexican and U.S. customs brokerage services for import/export activities.

"We’re delighted to open the doors to our new Laredo location, which is uniquely positioned to streamline North American trade and expand the gateway to the U.S. and Mexico from Latin America and Asia," said Mark McCullough, CEO of Gebrüder Weiss North America. "Nearshoring has been called a trend, but our strategy provides geographic advantages to our customers that will stand the test of time," McCullough added.
