Asercomex

What Asercomex does

Asercomex Logistics is a Spain-based cargo and freight forwarding company founded in 1996 and headquartered in Burgos, with additional offices in Madrid, Valencia, and Ciudad Real. The company specializes in foreign trade services, offering multimodal international freight forwarding (air, sea, ground, and rail), customs brokerage, warehousing (dry, refrigerated, and frozen storage), and customs warehouse (depósito aduanero) operations. It serves enterprise clients engaged in international trade, with named customers including Grupo Antolin, Campofrio, Firestone, Grupo Hibursa, Tomás Bodero, and Beef on Food across automotive, food and beverage, industrial goods, and pharmaceutical-adjacent segments.

The company's underlying technology comprises a logistics management platform that coordinates multimodal freight operations and integrates customs clearance workflows, supplemented by cold chain storage facilities with temperature monitoring. Specialized capabilities include pharmaceutical/healthcare logistics, dangerous goods (ADR) transport, project cargo, and live animal transport (ATA-certified). The company holds regulatory certifications including WCA (World Cargo Alliance), ATA, and ATP for perishable goods carriage, plus the Óptima Castilla y León distinction for workplace practices.

Asercomex operates a B2B direct sales motion targeting mid-to-large enterprises through dedicated account management, industry events, and professional network referrals (including ATA and FAE Burgos associations). Revenue is generated via three streams: transaction fees on international freight forwarding, professional services fees for customs representation, and usage-based fees for warehouse storage. Pricing is quote-based with no public tiers, customized per shipment characteristics, route, and service level. Geographic reach spans Europe, Asia, and the Americas, leveraging infrastructure relationships with CT Burgos (rail), Low Cost Rail (rail capacity), and Valenciaport (sea freight). In July 2025 the company co-launched a multiclient rail service between Burgos and Valencia, signaling a push into intermodal rail logistics.
