Scan Global Logistics (SGL), the global logistics provider, continues its growth path in Latin America through a combination of new market entries, expansions and acquisitions. By opening new offices in Argentina and Colombia and improving service operations in Chile, Peru, and Mexico, the company is expanding product offerings and adding new competencies in new and existing locations. In addition, SGL recently signed the papers to acquire BLU Logistics in Brazil, a leading Brazilian freight forwarder that will add expertise mainly on the China and Southeast Asia trade lanes to SGL’s global network.

Scan Global Logistics (SGL) continues its growth path in Latin America with the acquisition of Blu Logistics Brasil (Blu). The largest country in South America, Brazil is the world’s eighth-largest economy, holding immense potential for the global logistics provider. Blu Logistics was founded in 2013 and quickly established itself as a leading freight forwarder in Brazil, and boasting impressive growth rates of 27% and 47% in the last two years alone.

Following the successful entry in Kenya, Scan Global Logistics has opened its second office in the country in the coastal city of Mombasa. As the major port of discharge in the region, the seaport serves as the gateway to East and Central Africa. In collaboration with the existing Nairobi office, the dual representation will enable SGL to compete effectively with industry leaders and provide customers with competitive local and regional logistics solutions.

Scan Global Logistics continues to expand its presence in Europe by opening a new office in Marseille, marking its fourth establishment in France since its initial opening in Lille in 2021. This new office provides direct access to France's second-largest commercial port area, and trade routes to Asia, particularly China and the USA, will be of primary importance initially. However, the port's direct connectivity to Africa and the Middle East presents significant business prospects in these regions.

Windward’s solution will provide Scan Global Logistics’ customers with a single source of truth of real-time ocean freight data, enhanced visibility, and the tools to optimise decision-making and manage by exception for increased on-time performance.

Global freight forwarder Scan Global Logistics (SGL) is pressing forward with its ambitious global growth strategy, entering South Korea as a new market acquiring ENK Logistics Co., Ltd (ENK), a trusted long-term partner since 2006. With this latest move, SGL now has a strong foothold in a country with a robust economy that relies heavily on foreign trade.
