Mexus Inc. has been providing freight services as a licensed broker, along with import and export services to and from Mexico since its founding 25 years ago in Laredo, TX.

Port Laredo has long been an important crossing point for goods from Mexico. In recent years, fresh produce has been a larger part of the equation as the port is making investments in the infrastructure to better serve the perishables industry.

One of the unique aspects of Port Laredo is that it is the only port on the U.S.-Mexico border that shares two international bridges with two states in Mexico: Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon. This gives it a competitive advantage due to the strategic geographical location.
