Published on: Aug 08, 2024
Strategic expansions enhance service capabilities, support growth in key Arizona, Texas markets
ITASCA, IL (Aug. 8, 2024) – AIT Worldwide Logistics, a global supply chain solutions leader, is proud to announce the expansion of its operations in the U.S. Southwest with the relocation of AIT-El Paso in Texas and AIT-Phoenix moving into a brand-new facility. Both moves significantly enhance the company’s service capabilities, efficiency, and support for growing customer demands in these key markets.“The new offices in El Paso and Phoenix are pivotal to our growth strategy, which includes supporting our customers’ increasing nearshoring efforts, allowing us to serve clients in the region and around the world more effectively and efficiently,” said AIT’s Executive Vice President, Americas, Ryan Carter. “These are not just relocations to larger, more modern buildings; the moves demonstrate our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and superior customer service. We are setting a new standard for logistics services in the Southwest, reinforcing our position as a leader in the industry.”
In El Paso, the upgrade to a 50,000 square-foot facility underscores AIT's commitment to supporting the automotive, industrial, technology, and retail sectors. In the wake of Mexico overtaking Canada as the United States’ largest trading partner in 2023, the site will also place an emphasis on transborder operations to and from the nearby Juarez, Mexico area. The new location, opened earlier this summer, features advanced security measures and sustainable features like electric forklifts. In the coming months, the site will offer a Free Trade Zone, which can benefit customers by eliminating inventory taxes and deferring duties in the state of Texas, while also streamlining the supply chain.
Phoenix's transition to an all-new, state-of-the-art, nearly 30,000 square-foot facility, reflects a tripling of the previous location’s space to support significant growth, driven primarily by AIT’s business with customers in the high-tech industry. The new station, open as of August 5, is strategically located close to major freeways and a short drive from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. It’s equipped with enhanced security, sustainable elements, and a modern layout to facilitate collaboration across a wide range of logistics solutions, from AIT’s Middle Mile Network to home delivery to air freight forwarding and beyond.
Carter added that these expansions are part of AIT's ongoing efforts to enhance its global network and provide cutting-edge logistics solutions that meet the evolving needs of its customers. By investing in modern facilities and focusing on strategic locations, he said, AIT continues to deliver exceptional service and value across its global operations.
