ANNOUNCING THE ACQUISITION OF TRASGO Yesterday, with a dedicated event, we celebrated the 100% acquisition of Trasgo S.r.l. by our affiliated company COSCOS, the joint venture between COSCO Shipping Europe and Fratelli Cosulich. With a tradition of over 40 years, TRASGO stands as a pillar in the integrated logistics sector, offering a wide range of services, including goods handling, transport, customs operations and exhibition setups. The company has a portfolio of essential assets strategically positioned in the area. But the most crucial aspect for us as the Fratelli Cosulich Group, which emerges from Mr Augusto's statement, is the importance of making this significant investment with our longstanding partner. Even if smaller, it is possible to make investments with the most prominent players in the sector. Still, it is essential to challenge ourselves by investing our skills and economic resources. This will be a virtuous example that other entrepreneurs in the industry will replicate in the future. Find here below the Press Release. and the video of the presentation of this important acquisition at the following link: https://lnkd.in/d6MfBTiN

The Maverick Forwards: The Importance of Making a Decision and Staying One Step Ahead I recently had the opportunity to read the latest issue (3/2024) of the Breakbulk Events & Media Magazine which features Rudolf Reisdorf, the owner of Fracht Group - Switzerland, Fracht Group - North America and all other branches worldwide, in its cover story. When sharing this issue within the company he emphasized the fact that this article is not about his achievements, but about the achievements of the company as a whole. In his words: "Really, it's not a one man show - it's the team - it's our team and our family spirit that make the difference". In the article he asserts that even if not every decision optimal, the act of decision-making is the most crucial aspect of any project, regardless of its outcome. He states: "There are generally only two things on my table: Problems and opportunities, both of which cost money." As the company is wholly owned by the family decisions are made fast and communication paths are short. The company's investments are always financed from within the company, thereby limiting the number of shareholders and stakeholders. Moreover, for a company with such a global reach it is important to make every employee feel as important and special as they are. The partnership with Inter Miami CF serves to unite the company even further and foster the sense of a global family. As stated in the article the succession is secured by his daughters which I am one of. I am incredibly grateful for the given opportunity and extremely inspired by the work of my grandfather and my father. I can't wait to start myself after finishing my Master in International Management/CEMS WU Vienna.

We would like to welcome Andres Sucre, co-founder and CEO of logistics company Reservamos, as our new #VenturePartner based in Mexico City, focused on supply chain and logistics technology. There is no denying the unprecedented growth in export manufacturing and trade that Mexico and the United States have achieved in recent years. For the first time in history, the competitive cost structures, deep pools of labor, and growing scale and capabilities across diverse industries have made Mexico the largest trading partner of the United States. This has created a vacuum of opportunity for countless startups to provide technology, efficiency, and scale to various sectors including payments, near-shoring, cross-border trade, manufacturing and logistics. The digital transformation of the region has coincided with the global political and economic shifts that favor Mexico and the cross-border economy. #logistics #manufacturing #LatAm #crossborder https://lnkd.in/eimjPn5r

We are thrilled to welcome Logcomex to the Riverwood portfolio and look forward to working with Helmuth Hofstatter, Carlos Souza, and the team as they execute their vision to provide the best data intelligence and visibility tools for foreign trade. Co-Founder and CEO Helmuth Hofstatter: “If we consider just Brazil, companies spend over $1 trillion dollars annually in moving shipments across borders… yet the use of technology across all steps of the foreign trade process is in its early days. A modern platform can really help these companies and the regional economy thrive. Our platform already helps thousands of companies navigate a complex market and this investment will allow us to accelerate our mission of simplifying international trade to empower more companies in Latin America to successfully do business globally.” Francisco Alvarez-Demalde, Gustavo Pinheiro Melo, Lucas Vassalo
