CH Robinson is strengthening its presence along the US-Mexico border with a major expansion of warehousing and interconnection capacity, strengthening its role as a leading provider of logistics services in North America. 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 – right across from El Paso – remains Mexico’s top export region, registering $47.551 billion in exports for the second quarter of 2025, a 35.7% increase over last year. Nationwide, Mexico’s manufacturing exports rose 13.5 percent, driven by strong growth in computer and communications equipment. This increase has increased the demand for advanced logistics infrastructure.
“El Paso is emerging as a critical gateway for high-tech, automotive, medical equipment and healthcare shipments,” said Jay Cornmesser, vice president of Mexico cross-border services at CH Robinson. Juárez has a large maquiladora base and our expansion directly supports customers navigating today’s dynamic business environment.
The trend is drawing manufacturers and brands of all sizes closer to Mexico, many of which require comprehensive logistical support as they enter the market. Cornmesser highlighted a 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 consistent expansion into North America.
CH Robinson’s El Paso investment strengthens its broader network, including operations in Laredo, the busiest US-Mexico trade port. The company says the expansion reflects its commitment to creating a flexible and responsive supply chain network amid changing global business patterns.
“Our customers need agility more than ever,” said Michael Castagneto, president of Surface Transportation North America. With over 35 years of expertise in Mexico, AI-enabled tools and over 2 million square feet of strategically located border facilities, we set the standard for end-to-end cross-border solutions. “Not only do we keep pace with change, but we help our customers stay ahead.”
