Canada's Logistics Boom: Major Expansions Signal Strong 3PL Growth

Key Details Canada's logistics sector is experiencing significant growth as major providers expand warehousing, fulfillment and drayage operations across the country. Three major developments highlight the momentum in Canada's third-party logistics market. GXO Logistics opened a new distribution center in Mississauga, Ontario to support jewelry company Pandora's e-commerce fulfillment operations.
