DP World, a global leader in supply chain solutions, announces a
strategic expansion of its North American freight forwarding
network with two new offices in Texas. The new locations in Dallas
and Houston mark a significant step in enhancing regional
connectivity and affirming DP World’s dedication to delivering
comprehensive supply chain solutions across the Americas.
These new additions are part of the company’s global expansion
of its freight forwarding network, announced earlier this year. As
a leading provider of supply chain solutions, DP World has
established over 100 new freight forwarding offices globally since
mid-2023, including new 15 locations strategically positioned
throughout the Americas. This expansion strengthens the company's
presence in the region, and builds upon existing operations in
Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Panama, Peru,
and Suriname.
Texas is a crucial hub for freight forwarding due to its
strategic position in the southern United States. Its proximity to
major ports along the Gulf of Mexico and the Mexican border makes
it an ideal location for freight moving between the U.S., Mexico,
and beyond. Additionally, Texas's robust infrastructure,
substantial trade volumes, and economic growth further underscore
its importance as a focal point for freight forwarding
activities.
Looking ahead, DP World plans to open a total of 180 offices
worldwide, complementing its extensive network of more than 430
business units in 86 countries. Future office openings are planned
across the United States, Mexico City, Buenos Aires (Argentina),
and Itajai (Brazil).
The expansion aligns with increasing demand for robust supply
chain control as DP World aims to enhance its freight forwarding
capabilities, particularly in air and ocean freight. Leveraging its
comprehensive portfolio of global assets, including ports,
terminals, warehouses, trucks, rail, and shipping services, DP
World seeks to bolster control, resilience, and efficiency
throughout the supply chain.
Terry Donohoe, Senior Vice President of Freight Forwarding at
DP World Americas, said: “Our focused expansion will provide
more value to our customers, enabling seamless access to our
network within North America. With decades of trade expertise
across the entire supply chain, we are well-positioned to
efficiently move goods while ensuring resilience and end-to-end
visibility for our customers.”
DP World remains committed to offering a wide range of services,
including order and origin management, port handling, and freight
management for ocean and air transport, complemented by destination
services such as customs clearance, logistics, last-mile delivery,
and warehousing. Additionally, DP World provides various
value-added services, including embedded trade finance,
commodity-specific solutions, and advanced hubs.
As a leading provider of supply chain solutions, DP World has
established freight forwarding offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas,
Detroit, Houston, El Paso (Texas), Laredo (Texas), Los Angeles,
Miami, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle, Panama
City (Panama) and Bogota (Colombia).
