What Ransa does

Ransa (legal name Ransa Comercial S.A., operating as Grupo Ransa) is a Lima, Peru-headquartered end-to-end logistics operator founded in 1939 that delivers integrated supply chain services across 12 Latin American countries. The company serves 3,000+ active clients across 18 industry verticals—including retail, food & beverage, energy & mining, agroindustry, pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, chemicals, automotive, and HORECA—with 9,000+ employees operating from 95+ locations that collectively provide 4+ million m² of storage and 450,000+ storage positions. Service coverage spans the entire Pacific Coast of Latin America from Mexico to Chile following the 2022 TCF merger and the February 2024 Loginsa acquisition. Grupo Ransa has been majority-owned by global private equity firm H.I.G. Capital since 2021.

Ransa's technology stack centers on Ransa 360°, a proprietary client portal providing real-time operational tracking, inventory control, order-level reporting, and KPI visibility, paired with industry-standard Infor WMS (warehouse management) and Unigis TMS (transport management) systems. A "Torre de Control" (Control Tower) layer provides centralized real-time monitoring and rapid response across operations. The architecture emphasizes integration and interoperability: client systems can be directly connected to Ransa for faster information flow, and operational data feeds into per-country reporting. Specialized operating brands include Alma Perú (cold chain and refrigerated logistics), Torre Blanca (agroindustrial processing for export), SLA / Servicio Logístico Automotriz (automotive logistics center in Lurín), Agencias Ransa (customs brokerage), Ransa Archivo (document management and archival), and acquired regional operators Loginsa (Chile) and TCF (Central America / Mexico).

Ransa operates a B2B enterprise sales model targeting large corporations through country-specific sales teams and dedicated account managers, with no intermediary resellers. Revenue is generated primarily through managed-services contracts covering integrated logistics, specialized warehousing (dry, cold, hazardous, grain, outdoor), cold chain logistics, customs brokerage, and document management, alongside transaction-fee-based transportation, distribution, and last-mile delivery. Pricing is quote-based and customized per cargo type, volume, weight, destinations, and required service levels—no public pricing is disclosed. The company is pursuing a growth strategy under H.I.G. Capital ownership that combines acquisitions (TCF 2022, Loginsa 2024), IFC-backed sustainability financing (2024), capacity expansion (planned 20,000 m² DC expansion in Callao and northern Peru targeting pharmaceuticals), and subsidiary-level expansion (Alma Perú projected 25% growth, with an additional 10% expected in 2026).

Broad incumbents

• CEVA Logistics: Global contract logistics and freight management player owned by CMA CGM. Competes with Ransa in contract logistics, warehousing, and Supply Chain Solutions across Latin America, particularly in retail, FMCG, and industrial verticals.
• DSV (DSV Panalpina): Global transport and logistics major after its Schenker acquisition. Competes with Ransa in integrated contract logistics, road, and air freight services across emerging markets including Latin America.
• DHL Supply Chain: Global 3PL incumbent with growing LatAm presence. Comparable as end-to-end warehousing, transportation, and contract logistics operator with multinational client base; DHL is broader and larger, but directly competes for the same enterprise logistics RFPs across Latin America.
• Imperial Logistics: Africa-focused 3PL with operations across emerging markets. Comparable in integrated logistics and contract distribution model across emerging-market geographies; useful as a regional 3PL benchmark rather than direct competitor.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Global 3PL with strong contract logistics and customs brokerage capabilities. Comparable as integrated logistics provider across emerging markets; competes directly for LatAm enterprise contracts and cross-border logistics.
• GXO Logistics: Pure-play contract logistics provider focused on warehousing and distribution. Comparable to Ransa's warehousing and value-added services arm; operates globally and increasingly in LatAm.
• Agility Logistics: Emerging-markets-focused 3PL with strong Middle East and Africa presence now expanding in LatAm. Comparable integrated logistics model and growing enterprise book in similar verticals.

Regional players

• Andes Logistics: Peruvian customs brokerage and logistics operator. Direct local competitor in customs brokerage and Peruvian logistics — overlaps with Ransa's Agencias Ransa customs franchise and competes for similar enterprise clients.
• TALMA: Peruvian ground handling and air cargo services company with adjacent logistics operations. Comparable in LatAm aviation logistics and freight forwarding, though more focused on airport ground handling than Ransa's broader portfolio.
• ALCONSA (Almacenes Continentales S.A.): Peruvian logistics and warehousing operator serving retail, industrial, and consumer goods clients. Direct regional competitor for warehousing and distribution contracts in Peru.
