deugro (USA), Inc. has expanded its warehouse and laydown space footprint in Houston, Texas by adding a second facility at Cedar Port Industrial Park in Baytown, Texas.

The new facility, COLT, which stands for Cedar-Port Operations and Logistics Terminal, is already in operation. It will serve as an additional warehouse facility alongside deugro’s existing facility in Baytown, Texas.

With a total space of 47 acres (19 hectares), or slightly larger than 2 million square feet (185,000 m²), COLT offers extensive laydown areas, including indoor space, to accommodate various activities for both new and existing clients in the project and supply chain industries. Furthermore, the fully fenced facility is able to operate 24/7 and is approved to store all kinds of hazardous materials. It features indoor warehouse space of 165,000 square feet (15,330 m²), an outdoor concrete hardstand area of 40 acres (16 hectares), or 1.74 million square feet (162,000 m²), as well as 214 dock doors and 935 trailer parks.

Strategically positioned at 2828 FM 1405, Baytown, Texas 77523, adjacent to the Houston Ship Channel and near all major Houston Port terminals, COLT provides easy access to the major highway system, ensuring the swift movement of goods and materials.

“The integration of COLT into deugro’s service portfolio represents another significant milestone in deugro (USA), Inc.’s 32-year history of providing first-class project logistics and supply chain solutions. In the upcoming weeks, we will enhance its operations by adding various specialized material handling equipment and resources to the facility,” said Tobias M. Schultz, President – North America, deugro USA.

“Given the consistently high demand for warehouse and laydown space in and around Houston, we are confident that COLT can effectively serve both new and existing clients. Future plans also include the establishment of a Free-Trade Zone at COLT,” said Jeff Smith, Head of Supply Chain Logistics at deugro USA.
