As part of our commitment to being a global integrator of logistics, A.P. Moller – Maersk opened a new warehouse in Cajamar in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, in September 2022. This new facility is part of Maersk’s transformation journey in Latin America, connecting and simplifying our customers’ supply chains to help them grow and thrive. We started this journey in 2017 with various organisational actions such as incorporating depots into our portfolio to improve our regional footprint.

By the end of this year, we will have a 350,000-square-metre warehouse footprint in Latin America situated in country locations throughout the region, and we have a great ambition for the years to come. As we combine these strategically located warehouses and a broad portfolio of services, we aim to offer more value-added, agile solutions to our customers.

Robbert van Trooijen

President of Maersk in Latin America

Maersk aims to better connect Latin America with the world by expanding its end-to-end warehouse and distribution footprint and regional consolidation/deconsolidation network with innovative solutions that address our customers’ needs.

This new facility adds to our six existing facilities in Brazil and is part of the plans Maersk has for the country to support our customers and their domestic and international supply chain needs. Maersk has transformed into a full-service, end-to-end logistics services provider, and our warehouse and distribution solutions take advantage of our shared global network operations to help optimise our customers’ supply chains.
