GOFO Express is a New York City based logistics, supply chain, and transportation company focused on last mile parcel delivery services across the United States and Puerto Rico. Established in 2023 as a subsidiary of Ebisu, GOFO Express has expanded rapidly through an increasing network of sorting centers, optimized routing systems, and subcontracted delivery drivers. As of the first quarter of 2025, the company services nearly 7,000 zip codes and reaches close to 40 percent of the US population. Its clients include global retailers, e-tailers, and consumer brands in industries such as health and wellness, fashion and accessories, books and media, and home and pet supplies.
The company’s continued investment in automation, digital infrastructure, and delivery efficiency aligns directly with its ambitious expansion and upgrade initiatives planned for 2026.
Advancing Logistics Through Expansion and Infrastructure Upgrades
On April 8, GOFO Express announced its 2026 North American expansion plan focused on boosting network intelligence and automation-powered infrastructure. The need for a multifaceted approach reflects a sustained increase in customer e-commerce service expectations, which have generated increased pressure on pricing and placed a premium on reliable operations.
Expansive territorial coverage is no longer enough. Merchants are increasingly seeking pathways to predictable economics and stable execution with trusted delivery partners. It necessitates deepened network density, along with competitive pricing that includes a strict no-surcharge policy.
Established in 2023, GOFO Express experienced robust growth in 2025, delivering more than 100 million packages across 47 states, 300 line-haul routes, and 9,200 unique zip codes. The operating model that enabled this is distinct from traditional logistics networks. It pairs efficiency and scale gains with ever more tracked, networked, and intelligent automated systems.
Current investments target elements, such as station execution and hub capacity, with a focus on reducing network handling costs amid expanded coverage. As GOFO’s head of strategy, US, notes, “Coverage matters, but in this market merchants also need predictable pricing and consistent execution.”
When it comes to physical infrastructure, GOFO aims to grow at the hub and station levels by boosting network intelligence and automation capacities across 13 primary and secondary hubs within its nationwide network. Next-generation sortation systems span narrow-belt and double-loop cross-belt strategies, which in turn support high-volume sortation across transfer and destination points.
In practical terms, these upgraded hubs will enable reliable, high-throughput in the 20,000 to 45,000-parcel-per-hour range. Each discrete system can sort approximately 400 to 600 chutes. These narrow-belt systems offer singulation, automated parcel induction, and six-sided barcode scanning. With vision-based dimensioning enhancing sort accuracy and discharge stability, flow is also more consistent. Cumulatively, these efforts bring dwell time from inbound arrival to outbound dispatch to the absolute minimum. GOFO also has greater bandwidth to accommodate growth in shipment volume, while ensuring transfer capacities keep pace with market leaders.
The station level presents another facet of planned corporate growth. The aim for 2026 is to add around 50 delivery stations to a network that already encompasses more than 140 hubs and stations nationwide. The firm’s modularly designed automated sortation system has an extremely small footprint. It enables seamless operations in space-constrained environments, making facility modifications challenging and requiring tight deadlines.
During the critical timeframe after parcel arrival and during route staging, GOFO manual handling requirements will decrease. With a high level of load readiness, drivers experience minimal pickup wait times and improved loading efficiency. The company aims to increase the number of zip codes served to 12,000 by mid-year peak season, covering 80 percent of the nation.
Complementing these physical infrastructure improvements are behind-the-scenes efforts to fine-tune the proprietary digital infrastructure and intelligence system GOFO ATLAS. Networked solutions supported by this end-to-end platform help ensure consistent, unified visibility across the delivery lifecycle. The user-friendly multi-layer operational dashboards help orchestrate activities spanning hubs, stations, and delivery service providers (DSP) partners.
The company remains excited about the future prospects of this project and others.
