The company, which provides supply chain solutions through Robinson Fresh, focuses on moving fresh and temperature-sensitive products from origin to destination.
The facility is located in Pharr, Texas, near the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge and other key border crossings, providing direct access to major import routes for Mexican produce entering the U.S. The site features 69 dock doors, multiple temperature zones, and value-added services such as cooling, ripening, quality control, and repacking.

It’s one more example of how we’re offering produce shippers one integrated bundle of scale, technology, human expertise, and tailored solutions.”
