✨Last night, we celebrated 35 incredible years of dedication, hard work, and lasting relationships.

For nearly 10 years, Lulu Carrillo has proudly served as the Operations Manager for our Laredo Plant 2, providing strong leadership, experience, and commitment to our team. Her dedication has left a lasting impact on our employees, our customers, and everyone who has had the opportunity to work alongside her.

The celebration was a true reflection of the impact Lulu has made over the years, with friends and coworkers traveling from different cities and states, along with heartfelt farewell messages shared from near and far.

Thank you, Lulu, for your years of service, the memories shared, and the legacy you leave behind. Wishing you all the happiness in this next chapter.

Congratulations on your well-deserved retirement!💙

What happens at the border shapes everything downstream.

Laredo, TX is the nation's leading gateway for goods entering the U.S., handling more than $339 billion in trade last year. Every day, USCS's three

Laredo facilities manage 150 to 200 trade-related appointments, connecting producers, processors, and retailers across borders.

This is not just a location. It's a strategic advantage.
