Echo Global Logistics' New Office in Monterrey, Mexico
In a significant move to enhance its cross-border logistics capabilities, Echo Global Logistics, Inc. has officially opened a new office in Monterrey, Mexico. This expansion comes as part of Echo’s ongoing commitment to improve its services and support for clients and carriers in the region, addressing the increasing demand for efficient cross-border transportation solutions.
Expanding Cross-Border Solutions
Since last year, Echo has been steadily expanding its range of cross-border services, recognizing the essential needs of shippers and carriers within the Mexican market. This new office aims to further strengthen Echo's presence and infrastructure in markets that are crucial for seamless transportation between Mexico and the United States. Doug Waggoner, Echo’s CEO, emphasized the importance of this expansion: "Through our advanced technology suite, we are well-equipped to provide greater visibility and control, making it easier for our clients to navigate cross-border logistics."
A Structure Focused on Client Needs
The new Monterrey office is strategically located to support a diverse array of logistics services. Echo already operates from several key locations including its division headquarters in Mexico City and facilities in Guadalajara, along with operations in Laredo, Texas. Establishing this additional office aligns perfectly with Echo's approach to address the complex demands of cross-border trade. Dave Menzel, President and COO, stated, "Establishing operations within Mexico provides the additional support our clients require in today’s transportation landscape."
Diverse Transport Solutions
Echo Global Logistics effectively delivers various transportation modes, including Dry Van, Temperature-Controlled shipping, Flatbed, LTL (Less Than Truckload), Intermodal, and Managed Transportation solutions. This comprehensive array of services positions Echo as a versatile logistics partner, capable of addressing the specific needs of cross-border logistics seamlessly.
In addition to transportation services, Echo also offers integrated cross-border transportation technology. This allows clients access to vital data for customs brokerage, transloading, and warehousing. The team at Echo includes bilingual experts to assist in navigating the regulatory complexities often involved in international logistics operations.
Commitment to Safety and Compliance
One of the highlights of Echo’s presence in Mexico is its commitment to safety and compliance with cross-border regulations. As one of the few logistics companies to achieve CTPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) certification, Echo ensures that all freight remains secure throughout the transportation process. Troy Ryley, President of Echo Mexico, expressed confidence in the company’s ability to facilitate smooth trade, stating, "Our expanded presence in Mexico equips our cross-border team to keep the supply chain moving effectively."
