According to the company’s website news release on March 27, 2023, Maersk was part of one of the main events of the supply chain in Brazil, “A Pit Stop Supply Chain” organized by Ciclo Academy where they gathered more than 47,900 participants in a two-day event in Sao Paulo. In this 14 events edition, more than 45 executive speakers were distributed in panels, best practices, case studies, and informative talks.
This year, Maersk participated in both days within different activities of the event.
A panel, “Market Trends Shaping the new logistics, “ discussed the logistics trends and how a logistic integrator as a partner can help have more adaptability, visibility, and agility. In the panel participated Marco Vranjac, an expert in strategic distribution and logistics; Fernando Bergaro, Supply Chain Executive manager of BRF; Fernanda Fontolan, Operations Director for Hasbro; Alexandre Dias, Warehousing and Distribution Regional Technical Sales for Maersk; and Karin Schoner, Managing Director for East Coast South America for Maersk. After the interesting discussion of how logistics have changed and will keep changing, the participants of the event were invited to a cocktail of networking, where the conversation continued.
”By the end of this year, we will continue expanding our footprint in Latin America a journey that we started on 2017. We have a great ambition for the years to come. As we combine these strategically located warehouses and a broad portfolio of services, we aim to offer more value-added, agile solutions to our customers.” Karin Shoner, Managing Director for East Coast South America for Maersk
Maersk also participated in a business case with its customer Vestas, where Alessandra Silva represented Vestas and spoke about the partnership with Maersk in Brazil and worldwide. She also emphasized the challenges in logistics and the lessons learned for taking the next steps in logistics. Her intervention ended up with a video of how Maersk and Vestas plan to transform the supply chain together.
The event united the logistics world and was a great place to do networking, get to know the insights about supply chain, resilience, planning, and helped the participants share experiances and prepare to the ever-changing world.
