What Celsur does

Celsur is a privately held Argentine logistics services provider founded in 1991 and headquartered in Buenos Aires. The company delivers integrated B2B logistics solutions to enterprise clients, operating across warehousing, national transportation and distribution, multimodal operations, cross-docking, e-commerce fulfillment, container consolidation/deconsolidation, specialized packaging, and storage and handling of dangerous goods. Its primary verticals are automotive (Fiat, Ford, GM, Stellantis, Volkswagen, Renault, among others), petrochemical (Dow, YPF, Prysmian), and mass consumer goods / industrial manufacturing (Michelin, Saint-Gobain, Makro, Cooperativa Obrera, Bostik, Farben, Tracerco, AGCO, New Holland, Case IH). Celsur deploys its services through four owned logistics parks totaling 175,350 m² with 660 FEU container capacity, including a multimodal platform with its own railway siding at Abbott and dedicated hazardous materials facilities in Pilar.

The technology backbone is the Blue Yonder (formerly JDA) Warehouse Management System, in which Celsur was the first logistics operator in Argentina to invest, augmented by a voice-directed multi-order picking system (Pick to Pack) with intelligent volumetry-based box optimization, a TMS with online shipment tracking, real-time satellite fleet monitoring and telemetry, and an AI-based computer vision system for automated PPE compliance auditing. The company holds ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications, a 2023 Great Place to Work certification, and a 2025 PCMRA cold chain certification.

Celsur's business model is B2B enterprise field sales with custom-priced professional services contracts. Revenue is generated through long-term integrated logistics engagements (including in-house logistics models embedded inside client facilities), with no public pricing or revenue disclosure. Marketing is conducted primarily through direct sales relationships, the company website (celsur.com.ar), professional social media channels, and email outreach. The company celebrated its 30th anniversary with a corporate rebranding in 2021 and continues to operate as an independent private firm with no disclosed external investors.
