What FTS Logistic does

FTS Logistic is a Chilean freight forwarder and international cargo agent headquartered in Santiago, Chile, operating across air, maritime, and terrestrial transport modes. Founded in 2003, the company serves importers, exporters, and specialized verticals including wine and beverage bulk liquid transport, pharmaceutical cold-chain logistics, and handling of IMO, project, and oversized cargo. Its differentiated offering centers on Flexitank bulk liquid services, where it ranks among the top three operators globally and represents prestigious international Flexitank brands across Chile and Argentina export corridors.

The company runs a sales-led go-to-market with direct phone, WhatsApp, and web-quote channels, and holds WCA (World Cargo Alliance) international certification and IATA CASS agent status. Strategic alliances with major shipping lines guarantee ocean freight space and competitive rates, while terrestrial operations extend across Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and Peru. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or institutional investors, and operates with 11-50 employees.

Revenue mechanics are transaction-fee and professional-services based, with all pricing delivered through customized quotes per shipment. The company cites 20 years of operating experience, 500+ cumulative customer relationships, and presence in 6 continents as core trust signals. There is no evidence of proprietary technology platforms, AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or digital freight marketplace participation; the offering is relationship-driven and operationally executed rather than technology-led.
