Kuehne+Nagel, a global logistics company, announced the opening of a new facility in El Paso, Texas.
The new, larger site is 363,000 sq. ft. in size and represents the consolidation of four warehouses from across the border into one, says an official release. “As global companies make investments across Mexico due to the growing trend of nearshoring, Kuehne+Nagel is establishing this site to support customers as they seek to redesign their supply chain processes.”
The site will support the increased needs of customers in moving goods north and southbound over the border of Mexico and the United States, the release added. “The warehouse features enhanced security, modern offices, 54 dock doors, front and rear cross-dock capability, 125 truck yard spaces as well as added vertical racked storage locations.”
John Levin, Regional Vice President for Central Area, Kuehne+Nagel U.S. says: “With this offering, we enhance our ability to support customers in overcoming logistics challenges presented by the global trend of nearshoring with more capacity and space as we move their valuable freight. The state-of-the-art warehouse opening is a milestone for Kuehne+Nagel in North America as it reinforces our commitment to serving the cross-border as part of the company’s growth strategy. This new, larger facility in El Paso, Texas increases our warehouse footprint, improves building efficiencies, and complements our freight forwarding services with final import and export services into or out of Mexico.”
The facility will open on August 5, 2024, and brings approximately 145 job opportunities to the region, the release added.
