Echo Global Logistics Expands Cross-Border Services in Mexico

Echo Global Logistics, a US provider of technology-enabled transportation and supply chain management services, has announced its expansion of cross-border services in Mexico. After more than eight years of managing southern border shipping solutions, Echo has established operations in Mexico City, Monterrey, and Laredo, Texas, naming logistics expert Troy Ryley as President, Echo Mexico.

“Expanding our solutions in Mexico is an important step for Echo,” says Dave Menzel, President and COO, Echo. “Although we have been a major player in Mexico for nearly a decade, having boots on the ground in Mexico will allow us to simplify brokerage on both sides of the border as well as help our clients and carriers better navigate customs and the border crossing.”

With the infrastructure already in place to continue to grow, Echo has been able to make rapid advancements in the process of navigating border crossings, an often daunting and difficult task. “We are starting with a strategic advantage, with thousands of monthly shipments going to and from Mexico and the southern border,” Ryley shares. “I am excited to leverage Echo’s footprint and technological advancements to help grow the business and provide the reliability and transparency that our clients count on."

"Echo has been a great partner for us in our cross-border shipping between the United States and Mexico," states Carlos Alonso, LATAM Transportation Manager, Cummins, an Echo client. "We are excited about Echo's investment in local offices and personnel in Mexico and their expanded capabilities. Echo's flexible and customizable services adapt well to our particular needs. It comes at a great time for Cummins as we continue to expand our operations in the region.
