"
"Terry Donohoe, Senior Vice President, Freight Forwarding – Americas, DP World, said: “Mississauga is the ideal location for DP World to centralize its freight forwarding operations in Canada. By integrating our freight forwarding services with our port terminals and maritime operations across the country, we can deliver tailored logistics solutions for Canadian businesses navigating an increasingly competitive global market. Establishing our presence here underscores our commitment to enhancing supply chain efficiency for Canadian businesses and beyond.”
The office is expected to create more than 20 new jobs and deepen DP World’s relationships with businesses across the area. Further freight forwarding expansions are planned in Montreal and Calgary later this year, and the Maritimes in 2026."
