DP World opens new freight forwarding office in Mexico City

DP World has opened a new freight forwarding office in Mexico City, marking a significant step in the company’s strategy to expand its North American footprint. As one of the region’s most dynamic and strategically located economies, Mexico has become a central growth market for DP World’s logistics and supply chain operations.

This new office enhances DP World’s ability to deliver integrated, end-to-end logistics solutions across North and Central America. Services include full container load (FCL) and less container load (LCL) ocean freight, cars in containers, air freight, customs brokerage, and cross-border transportation – serving key sectors such as automotive, technology, retail, industrial, and consumer goods.

Terry Donohoe, Senior Vice President, Freight Forwarding – Americas, DP World, said: “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.”

Mexico City will serve as DP World’s central freight forwarding hub in the country, supported by satellite offices in Guadalajara and Monterrey. These locations are part of a broader network across major industrial corridors, including Querétaro, Juárez, San Luis Potosí, and Puebla.

DP World currently employs nearly 800 logistics and freight forwarding professionals in Mexico and continues to invest in market capabilities. The company recently joined the Northeast Chapter of the American Chamber of Commerce in Monterrey and is pursuing AMACARGA registration and IATA licensing to expand air freight offerings.

This launch is part of DP World’s global freight forwarding expansion. Since 2023, the company has opened more than 180 freight forwarding offices – including 35 across the Americas – with recent additions in Curitiba, Brazil, and Toronto, Canada.

DP World’s logistics network now spans strategic locations throughout Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Suriname, with further growth planned through 2025 and beyond.
