According to FreightWaves, global logistics provider DSV has opened a $90 million, 853,000-square-foot logistics facility in Laredo, Texas, expanding its capacity to handle freight moving between the U.S. and Mexico.
The new complex consolidates warehousing, transportation, customs brokerage, inventory management and distribution services under one roof, the company announced Wednesday. The investment forms part of DSV’s broader strategy to strengthen its North American cross-border logistics network, which also includes a recently opened office in McAllen, Texas.
Integrated services at a key trade gateway
The multi-client facility sits along Interstate 35 in Laredo, described by the source as one of the nation’s busiest gateways for commercial trade with Mexico. It supports cross-docking, e-commerce fulfillment, inventory management, distribution and cross-border transportation under a single operation.
The site also offers bonded warehousing and Foreign-Trade Zone storage options, along with northbound U.S. customs services and on-site Mexican customs processing. Those capabilities are designed to help shippers reduce delays, streamline customs clearance and improve freight visibility when moving goods between the two countries.
“Our Laredo facility is a milestone in DSV’s strategy to lead with innovation and scale. We’re committed to helping our customers grow by providing smarter, more agile logistics solutions.” — Josh Summers, CEO of Contract Logistics, North America
DSV broke ground on the project in July 2025 at a 49-acre site within Majestic Realty’s Port Grande Logistics Park, a 2,000-acre industrial development. The Laredo and McAllen facilities complement DSV’s existing border operations in Brownsville, El Paso and Los Indios, Texas, as well as San Diego, California.
Shipper leverage grows in Laredo’s freight market
According to FreightWaves SONAR, shippers currently hold solid negotiating leverage with carriers in Laredo. As of Oct. 21, the Outbound Tender Rejection Index in the market had dropped from 8.15% a month earlier to 5.10%.
The decline in outbound tender rejections points to a loosening capacity environment in Laredo, giving shippers the upper hand in rate negotiations as carriers compete for available loads.
Global network scale
The Laredo operation is part of DSV’s global logistics network, which employs approximately 150,000 people across more than 90 countries, according to the company.
The source states that DSV’s investments in Laredo and McAllen add integrated freight handling and customs capabilities at one of North America’s busiest trade gateways, extending the company’s cross-border footprint along the U.S.-Mexico corridor.
