C.H. Robinson is boosting its presence along the U.S.–Mexico border with a major expansion of warehousing and cross-docking capacity, reinforcing its role as North America’s leading provider of cross-border logistics services. The company has added more than 450,000 square feet of space in El Paso, Texas, bringing its total border-side footprint to more than 2 million square feet.

The expansion comes as U.S.–Mexico trade continues to accelerate, particularly in high-tech manufacturing. The state of Chihuahua—directly across from El Paso—remains Mexico’s top exporting region, recording $47.551 billion in exports for Q2 2025, a 35.7% increase year-over-year. Nationwide, Mexico’s manufacturing exports climbed 13.5%, driven by strong growth in computer and communication equipment. This surge is creating heightened demand for advanced logistics infrastructure.

“El Paso is emerging as a critical gateway for high-tech, automotive, medical device, and healthcare shipments,” said Jay Cornmesser, vice president of Mexico cross-border services at C.H. Robinson. “Juárez has a large maquiladora base, and our expansion directly supports customers navigating today’s dynamic trade environment.”

Nearshoring trends continue to draw manufacturers and brands of all sizes to Mexico, many of which require comprehensive logistics support as they enter the market. Cornmesser highlighted a fast-growing European food and beverage company that recently partnered with C.H. Robinson for full-service logistics coverage—including customs, warehousing, transportation, technology, and AI-driven solutions—to ensure a smooth and compliant expansion into North America.

C.H. Robinson’s El Paso investment strengthens its broader network, including operations in Laredo, the busiest U.S.–Mexico trade port. The company says the expansion reflects its commitment to building a resilient and responsive supply chain network amid shifting global trade patterns.

“Our customers need agility more than ever,” said Michael Castagnetto, president of North American Surface Transportation. “With over 35 years of expertise in Mexico, AI-enabled tools, and more than 2 million square feet of strategically positioned border facilities, we set the benchmark for end-to-end cross-border solutions. We’re not just keeping up with the pace of change—we’re helping our customers stay ahead.”
