Gilbert International runs 250,000+ square feet of warehouse space on I-35 in Laredo, Texas — racked, floor-stacked, and food-grade certified, rail served by a private Union Pacific spur, three hours from Monterrey at the largest inland port in the United States.
Storage at the border does a different job than storage in the interior. Freight that crosses at Laredo can wait here — close to the crossing, close to the carrier base — instead of paying linehaul north just to sit in a building.
The space
- Racked storage — pallet positions for product that turns and needs to stay reachable.
- Floor-stack — bulk lanes for heavy, uniform, high-cube product.
- Food-grade certified space — licensed by Texas DSHS as a food wholesaler, graded by the City of Laredo Public Health Department, and TABC bonded-warehouse permitted for beer, wine and spirits. Temperature-controlled space available; no refrigerated or frozen storage. What food-grade actually requires.
- Customs bonded space — classes 3, 4, 8 and 11, duty deferred up to five years. See the customs bonded warehouse page.
What storage includes
Freight arrives by truck or by rail, gets unloaded, counted, and condition-checked at receiving, then put away. When you call for it, it leaves the same day — full truckload, or LTL consolidation so you’re not paying for empty trailer space.
Storage that can become distribution
The same building runs pick and pack, kitting, retail-ready packaging, and returns — so a storage program can turn into a distribution program without moving the inventory.
Common questions
Do you have food-grade certified space?
Yes. We hold a Texas DSHS Food Wholesaler license, a City of Laredo Public Health Department sanitation grade, and a TABC Bonded Warehouse Permit for alcoholic beverages. Temperature-controlled space is available; we do not have refrigerated or frozen storage.
Racked or floor-stacked?
Both. Product mix decides — racked positions for SKUs that turn, floor lanes for bulk.
Can I use bonded and non-bonded storage together?
Yes. They’re separate services in the same building — a single inbound shipment can be split between them, and plenty of customers use general storage only.
One call. No ticket queue.
