For brands looking for a "centralized" model, Winnipeg is the geographic center of North America. It allows 3PLs to reach both the East and West coasts with consistent transit times, making it an ideal single-node solution for businesses that can't afford multiple regional warehouses.

Winnipeg is just 100km from the U.S. border (Emerson/Pembina crossing). 3PLs here are experts in the Mid-Continent Trade Corridor, providing daily line-hauls into major U.S. hubs like Minneapolis and Chicago, often more efficiently than hubs in the GTA.

Winnipeg 3PLs are built for extreme weather. High-standard insulation and specialized heating systems in warehouses ensure that products—especially liquids, supplements, and electronics—remain at stable temperatures during the harsh winter months.

Yes. Due to its proximity to the North Dakota border, many Winnipeg fulfillment centers offer daily "border runs" to inject packages into the USPS network, allowing brands to ship to U.S. customers duty-free for orders under $800.

Winnipeg has a high density of Aerospace, Ag-Tech, and Heavy Manufacturing logistics. This has created a workforce and infrastructure capable of handling "big and bulky" items, industrial machinery, and highly regulated agricultural products.
