A new logistics center has recently opened in Mexico, signaling a strategic move to support the evolving needs of shippers embracing nearshoring strategies. This facility, situated in Guadalajara, will cater to a range of cross-border freight services including full truckload, less-than-truckload, refrigerated, flatbed, and intermodal, in addition to offering managed logistics outsourcing solutions.
The establishment of this center comes at a significant juncture, coinciding with Mexico’s ascendancy as the largest trade partner of the United States, surpassing Canada. According to analysis based on U.S. Census Bureau statistics by WorldCity Inc., Mexico secured the top spot, followed by Canada, China, Germany, and Japan in the list of top U.S. trade partners.
Jose Fernandez, Vice President and Country Manager for Mexico, expressed enthusiasm about the new venture, emphasizing its ability to meet the escalating demand for U.S.-Mexico cross-border transportation services. He highlighted the growing trend of nearshoring among various supply chains, emphasizing the importance of providing tailored solutions to support this shift in the industry landscape.
