Echo Global Logistics Expands Mexican Operations with New Monterrey Office

Echo Global Logistics has announced the opening of its newest cross-border office in Monterrey, Mexico, marking another step in the company's expansion of its Mexican operations. The technology-enabled transportation provider has been systematically growing its cross-border services over the past year to better serve clients and carriers operating between the United States and Mexico.

Doug Waggoner, Chief Executive Officer at Echo, emphasized the strategic importance of the Monterrey location, stating that the company's advanced technology suite provides greater visibility and control for cross-border operations. The expansion comes as Echo has been managing cross-border transportation solutions for nearly a decade, with the company recognizing an increasing need for comprehensive services that address the complexities of international shipping.

The Monterrey office represents Echo's latest investment in Mexican infrastructure, following the opening of its Mexico division headquarters in Mexico City in March and existing facilities in Guadalajara and Laredo, Texas. Dave Menzel, President and Chief Operating Officer at Echo, noted that establishing operations within Mexico provides critical support that cross-border clients and carriers require in today's transportation market.

Echo's cross-border capabilities include customs brokerage, transloading, warehousing, and multiple shipping options such as Dry Van, Temperature-Controlled shipping, Flatbed, LTL, and Intermodal services. The company's integrated technology platform and bilingual expert team help navigate the complex trade and customs regulations that characterize cross-border transportation.

Troy Ryley, President of Echo Mexico, highlighted the significance of Echo's certification in the CTPAT program for cross-border transportation, making the company one of the few third-party logistics providers to achieve this recognition. This certification enhances security measures for freight moving across borders while simplifying the shipping process through integrated technology and specialized expertise.

The expansion into Monterrey positions Echo to better serve the industrial and manufacturing hub of northern Mexico, which has seen significant growth in cross-border trade activity. The company's increased physical presence in key Mexican cities reflects the growing importance of streamlined supply chain solutions that can efficiently handle the complexities of international logistics while maintaining security and compliance standards.

This strategic expansion comes at a time when cross-border trade between the United States and Mexico continues to grow, with many Texas-based companies relying on efficient transportation networks to move goods between the two countries. Echo's enhanced presence in Monterrey provides Texas businesses with improved access to one of Mexico's most important industrial regions, potentially reducing shipping times and increasing supply chain reliability for companies operating in both countries.

The Monterrey office opening represents Echo's commitment to addressing the evolving needs of the cross-border transportation market, particularly as trade volumes between Texas and Mexico continue to increase. By establishing a physical presence in key Mexican industrial centers, Echo aims to provide more responsive service and better support for the complex logistics requirements that characterize international shipping operations.
