Röhlig launches brand in Brazil
The Bremen-headquartered Röhlig Logistics opened a new subsidiary in São Paulo, Brazil, at the beginning of 2023. With this move, the logistics solutions provider has entered the Brazilian market under its own brand, after having operated in the country for more than 30 years.
Ulrike Baum, chief human resource officer and member of the global executive board at Röhlig Logistics, explains: “Up until now, our long-trusted agent Figwal has represented us in Brazil. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the whole Figwal team for the fruitful partnership over the past three decades.”
With the opening of the new subsidiary at this strategically important location, Röhlig Logistics now runs 13 own branches in Latin America.
Röhlig has appointed iIndustry veteran Rodrigo Simoes to head the new office and manage its business in Brazil. Simoes has nearly 20 years of experience in the logistics industry and most recently worked as managing director for Brazil and Colombia at Senator International.
Simoes: “The Brazilian market offers many promising business opportunities, particularly regarding the automotive and industrial sectors." (sh)
