Redwood Logistics has acquired Texas-based customs brokerage and warehousing provider EELCO, strengthening its cross-border logistics platform at the US–Mexico border.
The deal adds licensed customs brokerage services and Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) warehousing capabilities to Redwood’s Mexico-focused logistics operations.
The acquisition also expands Redwood’s physical footprint at the Port of Laredo, with a 250,000ft2 warehouse facility. EELCO also operates a site in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, and manages operations at several other locations for clients.
Redwood said the move will strengthen Redwood Mexico, its cross-border logistics service that has been managing US–Mexico freight flows for more than a decade. The platform currently manages more than 40,000 cross-border shipments each year through a network of more than 300 carrier partners.
“The way companies are building and managing their supply chains is fundamentally changing,” said Mark Yeager, CEO, Redwood. “Nearshoring is reshaping global trade flows, tariff complexity is accelerating and shippers are demanding partners who can manage the full picture — not just move freight, but navigate compliance, integrate data and orchestrate everything in between. Acquiring EELCO is about meeting that moment.”
Jordan Dewart, president, Redwood Mexico, added that: “Mexico is no longer just an emerging trade story, noting that the US$100bn (c. £75bn) invested in Mexican manufacturing over the past five years has created an enormous demand for reliable northbound and southbound cross-border logistics.
Redwood said integrating EELCO’s brokerage expertise and FTZ operations will allow customers to manage freight, customs compliance and documentation through a single logistics platform.
