Preventing a critical production stop with urgent air export

10.2 tons of critical enzymes. Just 2 days to keep production alive.

10.2 tons of critical enzymes. Just 2 days to keep production alive.

A leading global biosolutions company we’ve partnered with for many years recently expanded their collaboration with us into Brazil.

And their first operation with our local team set the tone: an urgent air export so critical that any delay could interrupt the production of everyday products found in supermarkets and households.

The challenge was clear but high-stakes:
Deliver the cargo within two days to prevent an immediate stoppage in the production line.

To keep everything on track, our teams acted fast:
 • Direct pickup at origin
 • Secured airfreight capacity
 • Full compliance with biological-cargo protocols
 • Constant coordination between origin and destination

The result?
A safe, incident-free delivery completed within the critical window – protecting their production line when it mattered most.

As they shared with us:
‘𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘚𝘎𝘓, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭.’

For us, that’s the true value of entering a new country: long-standing customers growing with us and experiencing the service they know – now at a local level.

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.
