El Corredor · The Corridor

Three hours from Monterrey. One relationship.

No complications. Smart Monterrey operators have been calling Gilbert for generations because the same family that built Laredo built these relationships.

The Corridor

Monterrey to Laredo. The shortest line to the US.

Three hours by road. One border crossing. One bilingual team. The Monterrey-Laredo corridor is the most efficient path for Mexican industrial freight entering the US market and Gilbert International sits at its US gateway.

Why Laredo

The #1 US land port. And we're at the gate.

$339B 2024
Port of Laredo

Record annual trade value

The Port of Laredo handled $339 billion in trade in 2024 a new record processing roughly 40% of all US-Mexico freight. Laredo isn't a secondary option. It's the primary corridor for nearshoring freight.

Geography

3 hours from Monterrey

Dallas is eight hours. Houston is ten. Laredo is three. For a Monterrey plant manager who needs to personally inspect freight, three hours is the difference between "I can go today" and "maybe next week."

Infrastructure

World Trade Bridge access

Direct access to the World Trade Bridge the busiest commercial crossing on the entire US-Mexico border. Freight exits the bridge, rolls down I-35, and arrives at our dock before reaching any other warehouse.

Nearshoring

The nearshoring capital

As global supply chains restructure and Monterrey's industrial base surges, Laredo's position as the nearshoring gateway has never been stronger. The wave isn't cresting it's structural.
