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

This expansion comes as trade between the United States and Mexico continues to accelerate, especially in high-tech manufacturing. The state of Chihuahua – located directly across from El Paso – remains Mexico’s largest export region, recording exports worth $47.551 billion in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of 35.7% year-over-year. Nationally, Mexican manufacturing exports rose 13.5%, driven by strong growth in computers and communications. This increase leads to increased demand for advanced logistics infrastructure.
“El Paso is emerging as an important gateway for high-tech, automotive, medical device and healthcare shipments,” said Jay Kornmesser, vice president of Mexican cross-border services at CH Robinson. “Juarez has a large base of manufacturers, and our expansion directly supports customers navigating today’s dynamic commerce environment.”
Convergence trends continue to attract manufacturers and brands of all sizes to Mexico, many of which require comprehensive logistics support as they enter the market. Kornmesser highlighted a fast-growing European food and beverage company that recently partnered with CH Robinson to cover full logistics services – including customs, warehousing, transportation, technology and AI-based solutions – to ensure a smooth and compliant expansion in North America.
CH Robinson’s investment in El Paso strengthens its broader network, including operations in Laredo, the busiest commercial port between the United States and Mexico. The company says the expansion reflects its commitment to building a flexible and responsive supply chain network amid changing global trade patterns.
“Our customers need flexibility more than ever,” said Michael Castanetto, President, Ground Transportation North America. “With more than 35 years of experience in Mexico, AI-powered tools, and more than 2 million square feet of strategically located border facilities, we set the standard for comprehensive cross-border solutions. Not only do we keep up with the pace of change, we help our customers stay ahead of the curve.”
