DP World opens freight forwarding office in Mississauga

DP World has opened a new freight forwarding office in Mississauga, Ont., marking a step in its efforts to expand logistics services across Canada.

The facility offers a range of logistics services — including full and less-than-container-load (FCL/LCL) sea freight, air freight, road transport, customs clearance, storage and cargo insurance — tailored to industries such as retail, automotive, technology and perishables.

“As the largest and most economically dynamic city in Canada, Toronto plays a pivotal role in facilitating trade for Canadian businesses,” said Doug Smith, CEO of DP World in Canada. “DP World’s office will ensure seamless connectivity for customers, by complementing our existing network of ports and terminals, enhancing our end-to-end supply chain capabilities.”

The office will serve as the central hub for the company’s Canadian freight forwarding operations and will integrate with its port terminals and maritime services.

“Mississauga is the ideal location for DP World to centralize its freight forwarding operations in Canada,” said Terry Donohoe, senior vice-president, Freight Forwarding – Americas, DP World. “Establishing our presence here underscores our commitment to enhancing supply chain efficiency for Canadian businesses and beyond.”

DP World expects to create more than 20 new jobs with the office, and plans to open additional freight forwarding locations in Montreal and Calgary later this year, with expansion to the Maritimes slated for 2026.
