Crane Worldwide opens Madrid site after Blue Cargo deal
The facility is located in Coslada, close to Madrid-Barajas International Airport.
Crane Worldwide Logistics has opened a new office and bonded warehouse in Madrid, Spain, following its acquisition of Blue Cargo, marking a step in its expansion across Europe.
The facility is located in Coslada, close to Madrid-Barajas International Airport. It combines office and bonded warehouse operations, enabling the company to provide freight forwarding, customs brokerage, and warehousing services from a single site. The company said the setup is designed to support clients operating across Southern Europe and the Iberian Peninsula.
The acquisition of Blue Cargo has enabled Crane Worldwide Logistics to establish an operational base in Spain. The company stated that the move strengthens its ability to deliver local services supported by its global network.
The Madrid warehouse includes space for bonded storage, consolidation, and inventory staging. The co-located model is intended to improve coordination between different logistics functions and support faster response times for shipments moving through the region.
"This is a pivotal step in our global growth journey," said Jared Crane, Chief Executive Officer of Crane Worldwide Logistics. "By joining forces with Blue Cargo, we are not only expanding our footprint in Europe but also reinforcing our commitment to being where our clients need us most. The Madrid facility positions us to deliver exceptional service with the agility and expertise our clients expect."
Francisco Corrochano, owner of Blue Cargo, said the partnership would expand service capabilities while maintaining existing client relationships.
"Partnering with Crane Worldwide is a proud moment for us. We’ve built Blue Cargo on a foundation of trust, service, and deep local knowledge. Joining a global organisation that shares those values means our clients will benefit from expanded capabilities without losing the personalised attention they’ve always received. We’re excited for what this next chapter brings—for our team, our clients, and the future of logistics in Spain."
Crane Worldwide Logistics operates more than 150 offices across 33 countries and employs over 4,500 people. The company stated that the Madrid expansion aligns with its strategy to invest in locations that support changing supply chain requirements and strengthen service delivery through a combination of global network reach and local expertise.
