Expansion into Noida aims to streamline supply chains and reduce transit times for global home goods retailers.
NOIDA, India – June 1, 2026 – CastleGate Forwarding (CGF), part of Wayfair, a digital-first freight forwarding leader, officially announced the launch of origin consolidation operations in India. This facility represents a significant investment in the Indian manufacturing corridor and marks the formal establishment of CGF’s presence in the subcontinent.
The service offering leverages a state-of-the-art Container Freight Station (CFS) in the Noida region, strategically positioned near major manufacturing clusters and robust infrastructure links. This expansion is specifically designed to provide scalable, end-to-end supply chain and logistics solutions supported by strategic logistics partnerships for high-growth brands exporting home furnishings and bulky home-goods to North American markets.
Operational Excellence and Seamless Connectivity
The Noida facility serves as a critical “sorting engine” before ocean transit, offering consolidation services that aggregates products from multiple Indian vendors and factories into single containers to maximize shipping efficiency. Key specifications of the new hub include:
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
The launch will proceed in two phases: Phase 1 will commence from June 1 with weekly scheduled ocean service options to the U.S. East Coast, followed by Phase 2 (TBD), which will expand service to the U.S. West Coast.
The CGF Advantage: Digital Integration
Beyond physical infrastructure, the Noida facility is fully integrated with CGF’s proprietary visibility and tracking solutions. Customers with a CGF contract gain real-time data from the moment cargo enters the Indian facility. Value-added services, including Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) labeling and specialized quality control inspections for oversized furniture, help ensure that inventory arrives "floor-ready" at destination fulfillment centers, reducing last-mile costs and administrative burdens.
