Echo Global Logistics Debuts EchoXBorder for Cross-Border Solutions
Echo Global Logistics has announced the launch of
EchoXBorder, a new initiative aimed at simplifying customs brokerage services across the U.S. and Mexico. This innovative step comes as the company expands its footprint in Mexico, with new locations established in Mexico City and Monterrey, building on its existing decade-long experience in cross-border logistics.
The Importance of Seamless Logistics Management
With cross-border logistics becoming increasingly complex, effective solutions are essential for businesses looking to navigate trade regulations.

The service is designed to ensure quicker clearance times, fewer delays, and ultimately, lower costs for shippers.
Troy Ryley, President of Echo Mexico, added that the company’s extensive knowledge in customs brokerage equips them to assist clients in adapting to market fluctuations while managing trade regulations effectively. By combining customs brokerage with integrated logistics management, EchoXBorder aims to optimize operational efficiency between the two countries.
Comprehensive Services Tailored for Clients
The offerings included in EchoXBorder encompass nationwide customs brokerage services across the U.S. and Mexico, inventory control at the border, as well as consolidation and deconsolidation services. This comprehensive approach provides shippers with end-to-end control of their supply chain, ensuring that all aspects of logistics are seamlessly managed.
