FOX Brasil

What FOX Brasil does

FOX Brasil is a non-asset-based Brazilian freight forwarder founded in 2002 and headquartered in São Paulo, operating four offices nationwide (São Paulo HQ, Santos, Curitiba, Itajaí) to anchor coverage of Brazil's primary ports and airports. The company delivers a seven-product service portfolio — Air Freight, Sea Freight, Project Logistics, Heavy Lift & Engineering, Integrated Logistics, Hand Carry (On Board Courier), and Courier/E-commerce — addressing both routine B2B forwarding and complex oversized-cargo project work for clients including Suzano's Cerrado pulp & paper project and an automotive OEM plant. Technology is limited to a web-based customer tracking portal and downloadable operational SOP documents; the firm relies on human logistics specialists rather than proprietary software for orchestration.

FOX Brasil extends its geographic reach through reciprocal memberships in five global freight forwarding networks — WCA, Americas Alliance Network, GPLN, CLC, and TLN — and a separate hand-carry partner network, enabling service delivery in 50+ countries without owning international assets. The company serves three primary customer segments: small and medium Brazilian businesses requiring import/export support, large multinational corporations executing complex project cargo in Latin America, and e-commerce businesses shipping cross-border into Brazil under the Simplified Taxation Regime (RTS).

The business model is professional-services fee-based, with quote-driven pricing and multi-year enterprise contracts; no public pricing tiers are disclosed. GTM is sales-led with a direct team of 50+ qualified professionals, supported by an inbound channel mix including SEO-optimized blog content, email newsletter, and trade show presence at events such as Intermodal South America. FOX Brasil is privately held, LGPD-compliant, and has received the Americas Alliance Network 'Best Forwarding Agent of 2018' recognition. No funding history, M&A activity, or external ownership has been disclosed.
