The 853,000-square-foot logistics center in Laredo brings warehousing, transportation, customs clearance, and distribution services together to support trade between the United States and Mexico
Laredo, Texas, 26 October 2026 – Global logistics company DSV has opened a new 853,000-square-foot facility in Laredo, Texas, strengthening its ability to manage freight movement between the United States and Mexico. The new center brings several supply chain services under one roof, helping businesses coordinate shipments, manage inventory, and handle customs procedures more efficiently.
Located along a major US-Mexico trade corridor, the facility is designed to support companies that depend on cross-border transportation and distribution. Its services include warehousing, road transport, customs brokerage, order fulfilment, inventory management, and distribution. By bringing these operations together, DSV aims to simplify the movement of goods across one of North America's important commercial routes.
The facility is built to serve multiple customers, allowing businesses from different industries to use its logistics infrastructure. Its warehouse operations include pallet and case storage, cross-docking, and item-level order fulfilment. Cross-docking allows goods to move from incoming vehicles to outgoing shipments with limited storage time, helping reduce handling and speed up distribution.
The center also supports omnichannel fulfilment, which helps companies manage orders arriving through different sales channels, including online stores and traditional retail. Its inventory management capabilities allow businesses to track stock and coordinate deliveries according to customer demand.
Customs clearance is another important part of the operation. Companies transporting goods between countries must complete documentation and comply with applicable trade requirements. Delays in these processes can affect delivery schedules and increase operating costs. DSV's new facility offers customs brokerage and trade compliance support, along with northbound US customs services and on-site Mexican customs processing.
The location also provides bonded storage and Foreign Trade Zone storage options. These arrangements can offer businesses greater flexibility in managing imported goods, depending on the applicable customs rules and the time at which duties become payable. Customers can use these facilities for both short-term and long-term storage requirements.
Thomas Christensen, managing director and chief operating officer of DSV's US air and sea operations, said customers need a logistics partner capable of bringing transportation, warehousing, customs clearance, and fulfilment together as supply chains become more complex.
The new facility combines DSV's air and sea freight, road transportation, contract logistics, and customs capabilities. This integrated approach is intended to give customers a more coordinated way to manage cross-border shipments rather than relying on separate providers for every stage of the process.
As businesses continue to review their distribution networks and strengthen supply chain resilience, logistics hubs near major trade gateways are becoming increasingly important. DSV's investment in Laredo expands the company's capacity to support North American commerce, offering businesses additional options for storage, freight handling, and international distribution.
The facility's long-term value will depend on how effectively it helps customers manage costs, meet delivery schedules, and respond to changing shipping requirements. However, its opening reflects the growing importance of integrated logistics infrastructure in keeping cross-border supply chains connected and competitive.
