BR Samor, one of the main carriers of high value-added cargo in Brazil, invests more than R$ 30 million in the expansion and modernization of its operations throughout this year.
With the expansion project, the carrier, with 354 employees and operating since 2009 in the Brazilian market, expects to double its turnover in the next four years, reaching the R$ 200 million mark.The resources were applied in the expansion of up to 2500 square meters of sheds in nine bases in Brazil and expansion of 40% of the fleet, from 50 to 70 trucks and armored trucks.
Thiago Azevedo, commercial director of BR Samor, points out that this movement aims to meet the projected growth of the company and strengthen its operating capacity on routes considered strategic.“Our goal is to double the size of the company in the coming years.In 2023, we achieved a record turnover of R$ 100 million. Our goal is to double in four years, and we are optimistic about the possibility of reaching this number before.It is a bold but feasible goal”, he says.
Until then, BR Samor had its headquarters located in Serra (ES) and branches in the Southeast (Contagem-MG and Guarulhos-SP), South (Londrina-PR, Curitiba-PR and Porto Belo-SC), Northeast (Jaboatao dos Guararapes-PE) and Brasilia (DF). This year, the carrier expanded to two other cities: Porto Alegre (RS) and Manaus (AM), the last one being built within the standards of cargo reception of cargo flights cargoes, with the so-called aircraft pallets.
Due to tax incentives, currently, 50% of cargo leaves Espirito Santo for other Brazilian states, especially the major centers. Until October this year, BR Samor has transported about R$ 15 billion in value of goods, with highlights for notebooks and mobile phones.
The growth of the company, according to the commercial director, is due to the recovery of the post-pandemic electronics market and the latent need for security in high-value cargo operations. “The inclusion of armored vehicles, previously restricted to the transportation of values, has become a requirement for the safe transportation of” electronics, he says.
Azevedo also reinforces that the evolution of the market requires rapid adaptation and strategic investments to maintain competitiveness.“Electronics purchase cycles are more accelerated due to the lag of these products.Our ability to meet these demands safely and efficiently is crucial to achieve our goal and position ourselves as an important player in the market “.
