DP World Opens Hub in Mexico City to Boost North American Trade

Global logistics and supply chain leader DP World has inaugurated a new freight forwarding office in Mexico City. The launch is part of the company’s broader strategy to accelerate growth across key markets and enhance integrated, end-to-end logistics solutions throughout the Americas.

The new office will act as DP World’s central logistics hub in Mexico, enabling seamless connectivity across North and Central America. The facility will offer a comprehensive range of services, including full container load (FCL) and less container load (LCL) ocean freight, cars in containers, air freight, customs brokerage, and cross-border transportation. These solutions are tailored to support critical industries such as automotive, technology, retail, industrial, and consumer goods.

“Mexico is one of the most important growth markets for DP World in North America. Our new Mexico City office strengthens our regional network and positions us to support cross-border supply chains with greater efficiency and scale. With strong demand from strategic industries and a pivotal geographic location, Mexico plays a crucial role in building more resilient and connected trade flows across the continent,” says Terry Donohoe, Senior Vice President, Freight Forwarding, Americas, DP World.

The Mexico City hub will be reinforced by satellite offices in Guadalajara and Monterrey, with extended coverage throughout the country’s major industrial corridors, including Queretaro, Juarez, San Luis Potosi, and Puebla.

With a workforce of nearly 800 logistics and freight forwarding professionals in Mexico alone, DP World continues to invest significantly in local capabilities. The company recently joined the Northeast Chapter of the American Chamber of Commerce in Monterrey and is pursuing both AMACARGA registration and IATA licensing to boost its air freight operations.

This development is part of a larger global freight forwarding expansion that has seen DP World open over 180 offices since 2023, including 35 in the Americas. Other recent milestones include new operations in Curitiba, Brazil, and Toronto, Canada.

DP World’s logistics network now covers key markets throughout Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Suriname. Further expansion is planned through 2025 and beyond, reinforcing DP World’s commitment to building resilient and connected trade flows across the continent.
