By establishing a subsidiary in Brazil, Röhlig Logistics expands its global network.

On January 1, 2023, a new subsidiary of the owner-managed logistics company Röhlig Logistics was established in So Paulo, Brazil, therefore extending its global reach. Brazil, which has the largest economy in Latin America, has a lot of room for expansion. This is especially true for the world's most populated city, So Paulo, which has grown to become the nation's main economic powerhouse, according to Ulrike Baum, Chief Human Resource Officer and member of Röhlig Logistics' Global Executive Board. Despite operating in Brazil for more than 30 years, the logistics solutions provider has just joined the market there under its own name. Ulrike Baum explains: "Up until now, we were represented in Brazil by our dependable representative Figwal for alomst 3 decades". Rodrigo Simoes has been chosen by Röhlig to serve as the managing director for Brazil. The 42-year-old, who has almost 20 years of expertise in the logistics sector, most recently served as Senator International's Managing Director for Brazil and Colombia. Simoes declares, "I am eagerly anticipating this new challenge. Particularly with regard to the automotive and industrial industries, the Brazilian market presents a wealth of lucrative business options. With an agile operation to provide a prompt response to our clients' expectations, our focus will be on offering a broad range of high-quality services, including air freight, sea freight, road transportation, and customs clearing.
