Our history

1999
We began our journey in the customs sector in a modest warehouse at the old Cooperativa Valuruguai.
Early 2000s
Early 2000s
We also began to represent a logistics operator with a broad customer base in the rail sector, such as RFFSA-Rede Ferrovia Federal S.A., which at the time was contracted to ALL-América Latina Logística. The company handled containers and wagons for Argentine imports and exports, with goods and merchandise that depended on the railroad to load their products, such as steel coils, palanquilhas, bentonite, perlite, most of which were inputs weighing many tons. All products suitable for rail transportation, due to their traction and load capacity. Unfortunately, for political reasons, operations were suspended a few years ago, contrary to the evolution of the times. I miss the train, its whistle and its shaking.
2003
Present
With a new façade and logo, we have refined our visual identity to reflect our continuous development and history of determination, adaptation and a constant commitment to excellence. We are proud to look to the future, always carrying the lessons and memories that form our legacy. Solid and lasting partnerships through excellence. These relationships, based on mutual trust and commitment to concrete results, are at the heart of our company, which is always focused on ensuring the consolidation of our clients' businesses.
1999
Early 2000s
We specialize in commodities, bulk cargo such as rice, corn, wheat, millet and beans, imported mainly from Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. We take charge of rigorously monitoring the processes of disinfecting bulk wagons, weighing, quality control in laboratories and clearance with MAPA and RFB, consolidating our expertise and reputation in the market with the most important mills and brokers.
Early 2000s
2003
We inaugurated our own headquarters, strategically positioned in front of and next to the railroad gate (ALL-América Latina Logística). From our window, we could see the overhead crane starting to tranship containers, ensuring the correct position and which compositions and times to follow, both Rumo Norte to Brazil and Rumo Sul to Argentina.

Transforming and impacting people

Our projects

We believe that nothing can have an end in itself; we need to give of ourselves in order to feel real value in what we do every day. So we undertook our first social project: My Safe Haven.

My Safe Haven

Our journey began in 2007, in the Reunidas Settlement, next to our neighborhood, a place that quickly became the beating heart of our actions. Friend and councillor Rogério Moraes told us about the need to care for the children in the settlement, and invited us to support the Head of the Neighborhood, Mr. Cristóvão, a very special person who was dedicated to meeting the needs of the residents in some way. The project grew in such a way that we were no longer able to control the number of children, as those from the surrounding neighborhoods also came and it became difficult to control and provide the necessary security.

We had to look for a form of organization that would allow us to provide this security, so we started by joining ABRINQ with the Child-Friendly Company Program, which mobilizes and recognizes companies that do not exploit child labour and develop social actions for the benefit of children and adolescents, aged 0 to 18, who live in communities and/or are children of employees.

As a result of discarding documents, we got to know CEANE - Centro de Educação Ambiental Nova Esperança (Nova Esperança Environmental Education Center), a cooperative of waste pickers and recyclers in the municipality of Uruguaiana, which has a small school to take care of its members' children and ensure that they are not left alone while their parents go out to collect. Under the leadership of the kind D. Carmen, we began our involvement with CEANE through activities such as "Story Time", a time for reading books that reinforced our commitment and provided moments of shared learning.

We combine our direct support for children with our commitment to environmental and social responsibility, exercising sustainable practices in the disposal of BPS and client tax documents, in accordance with the LGPD. This process not only ensures the privacy and security of information, but also benefits CEANE by contributing to its income through paper recycling, with the help of a shredding machine donated by Banco do Brasil.

Our initiative, which began with 50 children, has expanded over the years to include around 500 in the Reunidas Settlement and an average of 100 in Nova Esperança. Our actions have been recognized by the Uruguaiana City Council, a testament to our commitment to the community.
