Aries Worldwide Logistics announces Santa Teresa location

Posted

Aries Worldwide Logistics, a Houston-based leader in global supply chain solutions and logistics, has chosen Santa Teresa  for the site of its latest expansion, New Mexico Partnership (NMP) said in a Nov. 21 news release.

“This project is part of the company’s strategy to better accommodate its robust list of customers who are already part of the high-growth New Mexico Borderplex and further establish itself in a major trade lane with confirmed increases in commercial traffic,” NMP said.

“It was a no-brainer to expand Aries Worldwide Logistics’ newest branch into Santa Teresa, New Mexico,” District Director Jose A. Guzman said. “Statistics have shown that the Santa Teresa Port of Entry’s land port volume (in USD) has quickly risen from 17th to sixth place in national rankings.”

“Aries Worldwide Logistics is another world-class logistics company that has chosen to have a presence in Santa Teresa,” said Jerry Pacheco, president of the Border Industrial Association (BIA). “They have global clients that they serve, and who themselves will have a presence in Santa Teresa via Aries. This is a huge win for the Santa Teresa industrial base.”

The Santa Teresa project was set to open its doors in November 2022, with an estimated initial capital expenditure of $1.5 million, NMP said. “20 new jobs will be created for New Mexicans from the onset, with potential for further hiring in the future.”

Aries Worldwide, founded in 1984 in Houston, offers warehousing, packing and brokerage solutions via its comprehensive global network that encompasses trucking, rail, cargo ships and airfreight modalities, the news release said. Its Santa Teresa site is an existing facility on Airport Road with more than 145,000 square feet of space in a corridor at the nexus of global commerce and will be the only warehouse in Santa Teresa with designated Foreign Trade Zone services open for all clients, the news release said.

Within three minutes from both the Union pacific Rail Depot and the port of entry, the facility will feature six levels of racking that leverage state-of-the-art information technology and equipment.

“The Santa Teresa border region continues to grow and we are excited to welcome Aries Worldwide Logistics to New Mexico,” said NMP President and CEO Melinda Allen.

In coordination with the New Mexico Economic Development Department, NMP is “designated by the state to be the single-point-of-contact to help businesses locate in New Mexico,” according to https://nmpartnership.com.

BIA is a “nonprofit industrial advocacy group was comprised of 125 industrial members that account for 6,000 employees and billions of value-added production (and six million square feet of industrial space) and more than $1 billion in investment in the Santa Teresa-Las Cruces Corridor,” Pacheco said.

Brokerage firm opens Santa Teresa location

Pedraza Customhouse Brokers, a customs brokerage firm based in El Paso with more 30 years of experience worldwide, will occupy 8,000 square feet of existing space along the high-demand industrial corridor on Airport Road, adjacent to the Doña Ana County International Jetport, NMP said in a separate news release.

Pedraza’s new Santa Teresa location “will be the company’s first location outside of their home state and the firm’s reputation for helping some of the largest importers in the U.S. navigate NAFTA means they will play a pivotal role in advancing hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of global commerce,” NMP said.

In addition to the El Paso location, Pedraza also has offices in Laredo, Texas. The firm was founded in 1989 and is “a full-service national customs brokerage focused on ports of trade between the U.S. and Mexico/Latin America,” the news release said.

 “We are very excited to be opening a warehouse in Santa Teresa,” Pedraza CHB Vice President Mary Frances Allen said. “We foresee maintained growth at the Santa Teresa Port of Entry and with it a stronger need for our customs brokerage and warehousing capabilities.”
