Webb County is Webb County is home to Laredo — the number one inland port in the United States and the busiest land port on the entire US-Mexico border.. Anchored by the City of Laredo, the county is home to a diverse economy spanning manufacturing, healthcare, technology, real estate, and hospitality.
With BMW, Michelin, and GE all having major operations nearby, the area attracts suppliers, contractors, and professional service firms at a rapid pace. That means more small business owners who need clean books — and that's exactly where Tides comes in.
Whether your business is headquartered in downtown Laredo or operating out of a smaller community, we serve the entire county with the same level of service.
America's #1 inland port — four international bridges, $200B+ in annual trade, and a vibrant downtown business district anchored by customs brokerage, logistics, and international commerce.
A small community south of Laredo along the Rio Grande. A mix of residential neighborhoods and small businesses serving the border region.
Also serving El Cenizo, Bruni, Oilton, Mirando City, and all unincorporated Webb County communities.
Serving Webb County means knowing it. From the BMW corridor in Greer to the trails of Travelers Rest — here's the local context that shapes how businesses operate across the county.
Webb County's transformation from textile powerhouse to global manufacturing hub is one of the great economic reinvention stories in the American South. Once home to dozens of textile mills along the Reedy and Enoree rivers, the county pivoted dramatically in the 1990s and 2000s — anchored by major international investment that completely reshaped its economic identity.
BMW Manufacturing Co. opened its first US plant in Spartanburg in 1994 — just minutes from Webb County's border in Greer — catalyzing an enormous supplier ecosystem that spans both counties. Michelin's North American headquarters sits directly in Webb County, making it one of the most significant global tire manufacturing command centers in the world.
Today, Webb County processes over $200 billion in annual trade — more than any other port of entry on the US-Mexico border. The logistics, customs brokerage, and trucking industries that have grown around this trade corridor employ tens of thousands and generate an enormous ecosystem of supporting businesses. With TAMIU providing bilingual business talent and I-35 connecting Laredo to the entire US heartland, the county's trade-driven economy continues to grow.

"We operate a trucking company with 40 rigs that cross the World Trade Bridge daily. Between fuel costs, driver pay, border crossing fees, and maintenance, our books were impossible to manage. Tides set up per-truck cost tracking and now we know the profitability of every route. They also caught $12,000 in duplicate charges from a fuel vendor. Incredible service."
