What AM Cargo does

AM Cargo (legal entity AM CARGO LOGISTIC, S.L.) is a privately held Spanish freight forwarder ('transitaria') headquartered in Valencia and operating through five wholly-owned regional subsidiaries in Madrid, Barcelona, Aragon, Alicante and Shipping. Founded during Spain's post-recession period with 100% Spanish capital and no external venture or private equity investment disclosed, the company positions itself as a one-stop international logistics partner for Spanish importers and exporters. Its service portfolio covers maritime transport (FCL, LCL/groupage, reefer, dangerous goods, RO-RO), air freight, land and intermodal transport, project cargo, customs brokerage including AEO/OEA support, and warehousing and distribution. Operating geographies extend from Spain to the wider EU and to China, the Middle East, the US and LATAM, with 60,000+ containers handled annually.

The business is built around a relationship-driven, sales-led GTM delivered through six physical offices (Valencia HQ, Barcelona, Madrid, Bilbao, Zaragoza, Alicante) and a proprietary 15,000 sqm logistics center in Onda (Castellón) that includes a 5,000 sqm covered warehouse, truck fuel station, weighbridge, fleet parking and vehicle wash. Customer segments are import/export SMEs and mid-market firms, with notable vertical specialization in ceramics and construction materials from the Castellón cluster, supported by active participation in international trade fairs (Cevisama, Cersaie, Marmomacc, Coverings, Intermodal South America). Digital touchpoints include an SEO-driven blog and resources library, a MY AMC customer portal, and satellite-based real-time cargo tracking. Network memberships across FIATA, IATA, WCA, LFS, WWWPC and Global Affinity Alliance extend global reach. Revenue is generated via transaction-based fees on freight, customs and logistics services under quote-based B2B pricing; specific revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Note: A source conflict exists on founding year — firmographics state 1991 while company history sources consistently state 2010 — and this description relies on the more granular and consistent 2010 timeline supported by multiple sources.
