BERGE

What BERGE does

BERGÉ is a privately held Spanish integrated logistics operator founded in 1870, headquartered in Alcobendas (Madrid), with operations across 27 ports in Spain and France and additional presence in Mexico and Colombia. The company provides end-to-end supply chain services spanning stevedoring and port warehousing, vessel consignment (approximately 10,000 ships annually), customs clearance, chartering, multimodal transport (road, sea, air, intermodal), regular shipping lines, freight forwarding, project cargo, and warehouse management. It serves industrial clients in steel (Arcelor, CELSA Group), chemicals (Repsol), and automotive verticals, handling over 30 million tonnes of merchandise per year, and operates dedicated vehicle logistics infrastructure in Colombia (150+ trucks, 300,000+ m² of vehicle lots, 150,000+ vehicles mobilized annually).

The company's technology stack combines physical port assets (Mantsinen and Liebherr cranes, automated bulk terminals, 78,000-tonne silo capacity) with digital systems including a customer portal for tracking and quoting, SAP SuccessFactors for HR, and Logistics 4.0 offerings covering automation, robotization, and data analytics. In 2024, Bergé formally positioned technology as a strategic pillar, and the CIO has driven initiatives around AI applications, digital twins, and process digitalization, supported by a 2025-launched Digital Academy for employee upskilling. Sustainability is operationally embedded, with new biofuel-capable Dualpower cranes reducing fuel consumption by 26% and emissions by 25%, alongside ISO 14001, EMAS, SQAS, and carbon footprint registry certifications.

The business model is a mix of transaction-based fees (port operations, vessel consignment, freight forwarding, vehicle transport), managed services (warehousing, in-plant logistics), and professional services (strategic logistics consultancy and Logistics 4.0 advisory). Distribution is direct, with dedicated commercial and operations teams at each port and a self-service customer portal. GTM is sales-led and enterprise-focused, anchored by long-term industrial contracts. In September 2025, A.P. Moller Capital entered the shareholder structure to fund Iberian and Latin American growth, and in February 2026 Bergé completed the full acquisition of its Colombian joint venture (formerly BERGÉ Vigía), unifying the brand.
