DP World Expands Freight Network with New Texas Offices

Supply chain solutions provider DP World is expanding its North American freight forwarding network with two new offices in Texas. The new locations in Dallas and Houston aim to enhance regional connectivity and reinforce DP World’s commitment to comprehensive supply chain solutions across the Americas.

These additions are part of DP World's global expansion of its freight forwarding network, which began earlier this year. Since 2023, the company has established over 100 new freight forwarding offices worldwide, including 15 in the Americas. This expansion strengthens DP World's presence in the region, building upon existing operations in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Suriname.

Texas is a key hub for freight forwarding due to its strategic location in the southern United States. Its proximity to major ports along the Gulf of Mexico and the Mexican border makes it an ideal location for freight moving between the U.S., Mexico, and beyond. Texas's robust infrastructure, significant trade volumes, and economic growth further highlight its importance as a focal point for freight forwarding activities.

Looking ahead, DP World plans to open a total of 180 offices worldwide, complementing its extensive network of more than 430 business units in 86 countries. Future office openings are planned across the United States, Mexico City, Buenos Aires (Argentina), and Itajai (Brazil).

The expansion aligns with the increasing demand for robust supply chain control as DP World aims to enhance its freight forwarding capabilities, particularly in air and ocean freight. By leveraging its comprehensive portfolio of global assets, including ports, terminals, warehouses, trucks, rail, and shipping services, DP World seeks to bolster control, resilience, and efficiency throughout the supply chain.

“Our focused expansion will provide more value to our customers, enabling seamless access to our network within North America,” said Terry Donohoe, Senior Vice President of Freight Forwarding at DP World Americas. “With decades of trade expertise across the entire supply chain, we are well-positioned to efficiently move goods while ensuring resilience and end-to-end visibility for our customers.”

DP World remains committed to offering a wide range of services, including order and origin management, port handling, and freight management for ocean and air transport, complemented by destination services such as customs clearance, logistics, last-mile delivery, and warehousing. Additionally, DP World provides various value-added services, including embedded trade finance, commodity-specific solutions, and advanced hubs.
