GEODIS Expands Mexico Nearshoring Operations

[ June 20, 2025   //   Gary Burrows ]

GEODIS has opened an office in Guadalajara, Jalisco, to support the growth of the global logistics provider’s growing nearshoring freight forwarding business in Mexico.

The Guadalajara office, GEODIS’s second-largest operations center in Mexico, will become a shared services center, including key logistics operations for the entire Americas region, the company said. It will support all business, including accounting processes, supply chain engineering, operational logistics and control tower.

With operations already consolidated in Mexico City; and El Salto, Jalisco, GEODIS is centralizing its ocean, air and inland freight forwarding services, as well as customs and foreign trade, project logistics and supply chain management in this new location.

“Not only are we able to expand our growing freight forwarding line of business in the region,” said Miguel Muñoz, managing director at GEODIS in Mexico, “but we are adding new logistics solutions to our product porfolio to best support our customers.”

GEODIS operates a direct route with twice-weekly flights from China and Hong Kong to Guadalajara, in addition to strategic connections from the port of Manzanillo and corridors to the U.S. and Canada, which reinforces the opportunities derived from nearshoring. Coupled with an advanced infrastructure of warehouses, consolidation centers and control and security systems, Guadalajara is a true logistics hub for the company.

The 2,789-square-meter office brings GEODIS’s total footprint in Mexico to 14 buildings and more than 148,000 square meters. GEODIS employs more than 2,700 people in Mexico, with 442 operating out of the new office in Guadalajara.
