This month, DSV began construction on a nearly 1 million-square-foot logistics facility in Mesa, equipped with state-of-the-art technology and sustainable design elements, including solar panels, just east of Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.
“DSV’s investment in a new 950,000-square-foot facility in southeast Mesa is a major vote of confidence in our region’s growing role in the domestic semiconductor supply chain,” says Mesa Vice Mayor Scott Somers. “Mesa has made intentional investments in infrastructure and education to support the type of high-value job growth that DSV will bring to our community.”
The project is DSV’s largest physical expansion in Arizona, but this is not the first time DSV has used the airport as a site for expansion. The company began operating at Gateway in 2023, supporting semiconductor customers and expanding cross-border trade with Latin America. Its Arizona air cargo operations are tied to an Atlas Air-operated charter network that connects the region with Europe and Latin America.
The $14.5 million facility will serve as DSV’s regional headquarters for the southwestern United States and is expected to open in early 2027 and employ about 160 people. The new facility sits a short distance from runways and major transportation routes, allowing DSV to consolidate its air, ocean, road and contract logistics operations into a single location.
Mesa officials view the project as part of a broader shift in the city’s industrial base as semiconductor manufacturing expands across the East Valley.
“This new DSV facility represents a significant addition to Mesa’s growing technology corridor and strengthens our position in the semiconductor supply chain,” says Mesa Mayor Mark Freeman. “By bringing multiple logistics divisions under one roof in our city, DSV is creating valuable jobs and supporting the continued economic growth of our region.”
“The collaborative opportunities between DSV and Gateway open the door for increased transcontinental trade taking place within Greater Phoenix,” says Christine Mackay, president and CEO of Greater Phoenix Economic Council.
