Case

Delivering critical cold-chain equipment across Uganda

1,251 units.
7 suppliers.
553 health facilities.

One supply chain built to hold the line – end to end.

Over the past six months, we’ve worked closely with The Partnership for Supply Chain Management and national partners in Uganda to coordinate the delivery of essential laboratory and cold-chain equipment nationwide.

Refrigerators, freezers, centrifuges, biosafety cabinets, microscopes, incubators, and autoclaves – all critical to diagnostics, biosafety, and patient care.

The challenge wasn’t just moving cargo.

It was aligning multiple stakeholders and origin countries, air and ocean freight, regional port entry, in-country trucking, warehousing, and nationwide distribution – without creating bottlenecks.

By consolidating cargo centrally and planning distribution carefully, the equipment reached more than 550 health facilities across Uganda on time and ready for use.

That meant installations and training could begin without delay.
And health facilities could focus on what matters most – serving people.

This is what happens when procurement, logistics, warehousing, and last-mile delivery move as one.

Building SGL Asia’s growth engine

Asia, the world’s largest logistics market by volume, holds vast growth potential. Seizing this opportunity requires more than just expansion—it demands an ambitious strategy, strong leadership, and an agile culture. Nicolas Moeller, COO of Asia, is leading the efforts to strengthen SGL’s regional sales organisation and enhance its capabilities to support the company’s global growth ambitions. Alongside him is Isabelle Lau, Vice President of Verticals for Asia, a key figure in this initiative. Leveraging her expertise in structuring and optimising sales processes, they collaborate closely to ensure the growth strategy is effectively executed.

A partnership built on shared ambitions and values

In September 2024, Blu Logistics Brasil (Blu) joined SGL as part of its ambitious growth strategy and expansion into Latin America, strengthening its presence in the region’s largest economy. Founded by CEO Gabriel Carvalho in 2013, Blu has grown into one of Brazil’s leading freight forwarders and the second largest in ocean freight imports, boasting impressive growth rates of 27% and 47% in the last two years alone and employing over 200 people across eight offices. For Gabriel, finding the right partner wasn’t just about expanding into new markets; it was about preserving the company’s identity, keeping its people-centric approach and customers close while unlocking new opportunities as part of something bigger. In the following, he reflects on the journey from when it all began.
