500% growth in Brazil in just five years
UWL, an American-owned NVOCC and provider of global 3PL services, has opened a new office near the Port of Itajai, Brazil. The more than 740 sqm facility serves as the central location for most of the company’s Brazil-based workforce, which has increased by 500% over the last five years, outgrowing multiple smaller office locations throughout the region.
The office overlooks the Port of Itajaí and Navegantes, Brazil’s second largest container port complex. The Ports of Itajaí and Navegantes are at the heart of a busy commercial centre with an intermodal infrastructure that includes ocean, road, rail, and air service supporting the Santa Catarina trade chain.
The move coincides with the launch of a new website for the Brazil location, helping to affirm UWL’s presence both locally and globally across the web.
With an approach that focuses on local service with a global reach, the UWL Brazil office, Iata certified, offers a large scale of services including licensed NVOCC certification, import and exports services for air, sea, and road freight, licensed and bonded, asset-based forwarding as well as global supply chain visibility.
