ICTSI, CMA CGM, and Descartes Expand Logistics Operations in Latin America

Leading global logistics operators are making acquisitions to expand their scale, capabilities, and coverage in Latin America. ICTSI, CMA CGM/CEVA, and Descartes stand out in this trend, with a presence in strategic markets across the region. ICTSI incorporated a logistics operation in Brazil to boost rail and multimodal solutions, while Descartes acquired Chilean company Drivin to strengthen transportation management and last-mile delivery. ICTSI maintains operations in Brazil, Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, Argentina, and Honduras. These operations reflect a trend towards integrated logistics models that connect port terminals, land transport, warehousing, and technology. These strategies expand the operators' capabilities and promote greater integration of services within supply chains.
