A BR Samor, one of the main carriers of high added value cargo in Brazil, invests over R$ 30 million in the expansion and modernization of its operations throughout this year. The amount aims at the modernization of the headquarters, opening of new branches and the expansion of the fleet of armored trucks
With the expansion project, the carrier, with 354 employees and operating in the Brazilian market since 2009, forecasts to double its revenue in the next four years, reaching the mark of R$ 200 million. The resources were applied to the expansion of up to 2500 square meters of warehouses in nine bases in Brazil and a 40% increase in the fleet, increasing from 50 to 70 armored trucks and trailers
Thiago Azevedo, commercial director of BR Samor, it highlights that this movement aims to meet the projected growth of the company and strengthen its operational 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 revenue of R$ 100 million. Our goal is to double in four years, and we are optimistic about the possibility of reaching that number sooner. It is an ambitious goal, more feasible, affirms
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 (Jaboatão dos Guararapes-PE) and Brasília (DF). This year, the carrier expanded to two other cities: Porto Alegre (RS) and Manaus (AM), being the last one built according to the standards for receiving cargo from freighter flights, with the so-called aeronautical pallets
Due to tax incentives, currently, 50% of the cargo leaves Espírito Santo destined for other Brazilian states, mainly the large centers. Until October of this year, BR Samor has already transported around R$ 15 billion in goods value, with highlights for laptops and cell phones
The growth of the company, according to the commercial director, it is due to the recovery of the electronics market post-pandemic and the latent need for security in high-value cargo operations. "The inclusion of armored vehicles", previously restricted to the transportation of valuables, it has become a requirement for the safe transport of electronics, account
Azevedo emphasizes that market evolution requires rapid adaptation and strategic investments to maintain competitiveness. "The purchase cycles of electronics are accelerating due to the obsolescence of these products". Our ability to meet these demands safely and efficiently is crucial for us to achieve our goal and position ourselves as an important player in the market
