What Destak Logística e Transportes does

Destak Logística e Transportes is a privately held Brazilian road-freight carrier founded in 2005 and headquartered in Criciúma, Santa Catarina. The company provides less-than-truckload (LTL) and full-truckload (FTL) cargo transportation, palletization, and warehousing services to B2B shippers across the manufacturing, retail, and commercial sectors. Its service territory spans the three states of Southern Brazil (Santa Catarina, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul) plus the state of São Paulo, served through more than 100 own business units and a fleet of 1,000+ vehicles (mix of owned and third-party), supported by 800+ direct and indirect collaborators.

The operating platform is anchored by the SSW logistics management system, which integrates cross-branch coordination, scheduling, and tracking across the entire network; a 100% satellite-based vehicle tracking capability providing real-time cargo visibility; and a centralized scheduling department at the Criciúma headquarters designed to prevent communication failures across distributed units. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (since 2019), ANTT authorization, and IBAMA environmental clearances, and operates special authorizations (AFE) for cosmetics and sanitation product transport. Digital customer touchpoints include a website-based service portal (TDE, TDA), WhatsApp/phone customer service, and online quote and collection request forms.

Destak generates revenue primarily through per-shipment transaction fees for fractional and full-load cargo transport, with complementary revenue from palletization and warehousing professional services. Pricing is custom quote-based with no publicly disclosed rate card. The company is owned and controlled by founder Franck Citadin (Diretor Presidente and sole owner since 2016) and Sil Citadin (Corporate Director and co-owner since 2018), with no external venture capital, private equity, or institutional investment. Go-to-market is direct via the branch network and online service portal, with planned geographic expansion into Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, and the Centro-Oeste region.
