Denver rests at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. To the east, residents see the Great Plains and experience the state’s agricultural roots. To the west, visitors and residents marvel at the 14,000-foot snow-capped mountains.
About 100 miles to the south, anyone can visit Pike’s Peak, which placed Denver at the crossroads of the 1859 Gold Rush. However, it wasn’t until the northern railroad line between Denver and Cheyenne, Wyoming, was completed in 1870 that Denver began its journey to today’s transportation hub.
Denver’s Strategic Advantage
Local companies already know Denver is strategically located at the center of the continental United States, making it ideal for logistics operations. Its location often means faster transit times and lower shipping costs for air, rail, or ground transport.
- Ground. The I-25 and I-70 corridors connect Denver to Utah to the east, New Mexico to the south, and Wyoming to the north. From I-25, ground traffic can access I-80 in Utah, heading west.
- Rail. The Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroads regularly service Denver.
- Air. Denver International Airport (DIA) is the primary air freight facility in the state, covering 52.4 square miles.
As Denver’s 3PL warehousing and logistics partner, Symbia Logistics can distribute products for its local clients across the region, reaching major markets quickly and cost-effectively.

Denver’s Thriving Economy
Denver and the broader Colorado region continue to experience steady growth despite the lack of affordable housing. The city’s pro-business attitude and strong connection to aerospace and defense form a solid foundation for exponential growth.
- Diverse and Innovative Industries: Colorado hosts a variety of industries that rely on technology, such as advanced manufacturing, aerospace, and healthcare.
- Strategic Location: Denver’s central location provides easy access to both coasts and major markets for logistics distribution.
- Supportive Economic Environment: Denver’s high-tech industry continues to expand, drawing corporations such as Google and Amazon and fostering startups.
- Community-Focused Approach: Becoming part of Denver’s business ecosystem means participating in community engagement and development — a tradition that began with the Denver Pacific railroad.
If it weren’t for the joint efforts of 19th-century business owners, Denver would never have completed the last mile of the transcontinental railroad to become a 21st-century transportation hub.
We Are Part of Denver’s Thriving Economy
We’re always looking to grow and improve, which is why we recently acquired Colorado Distribution Group (CDG).

This growth ensures that we remain at the forefront of the logistics industry, providing our clients with the best possible service as their dedicated logistics partner.
Denver’s Commitment to Community
Although Denver, like many other US cities, struggles with housing, it has committed to creating a safer and more vibrant downtown, providing housing for 2,000 people experiencing homelessness, and offering 3,000 affordable housing units. Denver is also dedicated to reducing its carbon footprint.
The Climate Protection Fund dedicates more than $40 million to climate action annually to ensure Denver remains a resilient and sustainable city. Denver also looks to its business community for partnerships in moving community initiatives forward.

Abby and Finn, a subscription diaper company committed to donating 500,000 diapers annually, chose Symbia Logistics as their logistics partner to support their e-fulfillment needs and ensure reliable and efficient delivery. Our team has volunteered with Colorado Pet Pantry and Pet Food Experts, providing transportation and distribution assistance to keep pets from being surrendered to shelters. Additionally, our Denver crew collaborated with Yard Angels to help seniors and veterans with yard cleanup, preventing costly citations.
