Deugro opens second Texas site

[ January 14, 2025   //   ]

Heavylift forwarder Deugro has expanded its warehouse and laydown space footprint in Houston, Texas with a second facility at Cedar Port Industrial Park in Baytown.

The Cedar-Port Operations and Logistics Terminal (COLT), will operate alongside Deugro’s existing facility in Baytown.

With a total space of 47 acres (19 hectares), or slightly larger than 2 million square feet

(185,000 m²), COLT offers extensive laydown areas, including indoor space, for new and existing clients in the project and supply chain industries.

The fully fenced facility can operate 24 hours and is approved to store all kinds of hazardous materials. It includes indoor warehouse space of 165,000 square feet (15,330 m²), an outdoor concrete hardstand area of 40 acres (16 hectares), or 1.74 million square feet (162,000 m²),

as well as 214 dock doors and 935 trailer parks.

Baytown is next to the Houston Ship Channel and near all major port terminals.

President, North America, Tobias Schultz, said: “In the upcoming weeks, we will enhance its operations by adding various specialized material handling equipment and resources to the facility. Given the consistently high demand for warehouse and laydown space in and around Houston, we are confident that COLT can effectively serve both new and existing clients. Head of supply chain logistics at Deugro USA, Jeff Smith, added that future plans also include setting up a free-trade zone at COLT.
