Mirassol Group, a national reference in integrated logistics, with 85 years in the market, announces the acquisition of Golden Cargo, consolidating its presence in the logistics solutions sector for chemicals and agricultural inputs. With this strategic acquisition, the Group projects significant growth, estimating double-digit expansion already in the first year, driven by the robust performance of this company in key sectors for the Brazilian economy.
Golden Cargo, which for over 30 years has been a reference in logistics for chemical products, agricultural pesticides (chemical and biological), and seeds, joins the portfolio of Mirassol Group, which expects to strengthen its position as one of Brazil’s leading logistics operators, thereby enhancing its capacity to serve essential industries. This move is part of the Group’s ambitious 2024-2028 Strategic Plan, which aims not only for organic growth but also for participation in key markets such as chemical and agricultural inputs, delivering solid results to its shareholders and partners.
“We are extremely confident that this acquisition places us at a new level of growth and competitiveness. Golden Cargo is a player that stands out in the market and brings, in addition to expertise, a technological contribution that will allow us to expand our presence in strategic sectors,” says Paulo Mendes, Director of Mirassol Group. “Our goal is to maintain double-digit growth, and we are certain that Golden Cargo will be a key piece in this process,” he adds.
According to internal estimates, the acquisition will impact not only annual revenue but also the Group’s operational capacity, which already has a consolidated structure through Expresso Mirassol, M3 Logística, ILC- Integrator Logistic Company, and Alulo – Transport Equipment Leasing and Logistics Solutions. With the integration of Golden Cargo, Mirassol Group is expected to expand its presence in the Southeast and Midwest regions, with the potential to reach new markets. Golden Cargo, in turn, contributes a solid customer base and cutting-edge technological infrastructure, ensuring greater efficiency and agility in the logistics of chemical and agricultural products.
“We are integrating a company that has already implemented significant technological advancements, such as the Logistics Suite Project, which optimizes everything from delivery scheduling to real-time tracking of logistics operations. This places us in a privileged position to compete in an increasingly demanding market,” emphasizes Paulo Mendes.
Strength of the chemical and agricultural inputs market
The acquisition of Golden Cargo comes at a strategic time for the chemical and agricultural inputs market in Brazil, which grew by 15.1% in 2023, according to the Ministry of Agriculture. The Brazilian chemical industry also stands out as one of the six largest in the world, reinforcing Mirassol Group’s expansion potential in this highly dynamic segment.
“The agribusiness economy has been an important driver for Brazil’s growth, and we are prepared to capitalize on this trend. With the incorporation of Golden Cargo, we expect to increase our presence in vital sectors of the national economy, expanding both in volume and added value,” adds Paulo Mendes.
The acquisition occurs at a special moment for Golden Cargo, closing a cycle of repositioning in a highly competitive market and opening a range of opportunities generated by the combined strengths and expertise of the two business groups.
“This is a long-term project but with immediate business opportunities and synergies. I am very optimistic and motivated to actively participate and contribute to this new chapter for the company. My initial focus will be ensuring that Golden’s customers receive strengthened service with the arrival of Mirassol Group,” assures Oswaldo D. Castro Jr., Partner and Owner of Golden Cargo.
