Leschaco Group has officially opened its new branch in Lima, expanding its network to 23 countries, the logistics multinational has reported.

More than 100 guests attended the function in mid-July, where Cecilia Batallanos, managing director of Leschaco Peru, emphasised that the integration of the new entity, which started in February, had been successfully concluded.

Constantin Conrad, shareholder and chief digital officer (CDO) for Leschaco, said: “We are ready to grow our business in the Peruvian market by building trustful and long-standing relationships with our customers and business partners along the supply chain.”

Another auspicious attendee, German Embassy chargé d'affaires Stefan Biedermann, underlined the importance of foreign investments in Peru in times of political, economic, and logistics turbulence.

With offices elsewhere in the Americas – from Chile to Brazil and Mexico – Leschaco said it was only a matter of time before the company would further expand its 40-year presence in Latin America.

“The Peruvian market has shown significant and sustained growth over the last decade and is therefore one of a group of interesting countries worth investing in,” a company statement reads.

“When the opportunity arose to acquire its existing partner in Peru, the Leschaco Group acted to formalise the business and establish its own Peruvian subsidiary.

“The product portfolio in the Peruvian subsidiary includes integrated logistics services, ocean and air freight transportation, warehousing and contract logistics, tank container transportation, intermodal transportation, as well as 4PL services and customised logistics requirements.”

Coinciding with the opening ceremony, Leschaco’s management from the Americas met in the same week for the first strategic meeting since the end of 2019, which had not been possible as a result of the pandemic.
