Nippon Express USA, Inc. (Toshiro Uchida, President), a local subsidiary of Nippon Express Co., Ltd. (Mitsuru Saito, President), has relocated and expanded its base in Laredo, Texas, commencing operations from this new location in September 2017.
Positioned near the US-Mexico border, the city of Laredo sits in the NAFTA corridor connecting the US Midwest, home to a flourishing automobile industry, with the Mexican Central Plateau, and is thus a key location for handling trade between the two countries.
The new facility - the Laredo Logistics Center - has a total warehouse/office space nearly double that of the previous location. Combining the functions of a logistics center with those of a truck control center, the facility offers storage near the border of automotive parts/materials produced in the US or overseas and delivery of these parts/materials to Mexican destinations, as well as consignment of automotive parts produced in Mexico for milk-runs arranged by automobile manufacturers in the US.
Nippon Express is thus endeavoring to bolster its logistics functions to meet rising demand, especially from the automotive industry, for cross-border logistics between the US and Mexico, and to satisfy the diversifying needs of customers in further expanding its global logistics operations.
