Geodis Wilson opens new Houston warehouse
November 2, 2009Geodis Wilson Industrial Projects USA has formally opened a new warehouse in Houston, and relocated its offices at the same time.
The global freight forwarding and logistics company moved earlier this year into a 68,000-square-foot warehouse and office in Duke Realty’s Point North Cargo Park at 8210 Humble Westfield Road. But executives from its Paris headquarters were on hand during the weekend to kick off the formal opening.
Geodis Wilson handles mostly upstream oil and gas project cargo at its Houston facility, which includes a two-acre marshaling yard. Recent projects include a pipeline for Exxon Mobil Corp. from Chad to Cameroon.
The company has employed some 30 people in Houston since acquiring Rohde & Liesenfeld nearly two years ago.
Among those attending the open house were Jean-Louis Demeulenaere, deputy CEO of Strategy, Development & Operations for Geodis Group/SNCF; Philippe Gilbert, executive vice president of Geodis Group Industrial Projects; and Philippe Somers, senior vice president of Industrial Projects.
