Torus

What Torus does

Torus is a Peru-based road logistics company specializing in the transport of hazardous, oversized, and specialized cargo for enterprise clients in mining, energy and gas, industrial/manufacturing, and chemicals. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Lurigancho, Lima, the company operates a modern fleet across Peru's primary corridors — Panamericana Norte, Panamericana Sur, and Carretera Central — and offers both domestic and international transport services. The portfolio covers general cargo, dangerous materials (GLP, GNV, GNC, liquid fuels, IQBF chemical inputs), minerals and concentrates, refrigerated goods, and oversized machinery, delivered under project-based quotes with multi-year contractual engagements.

The core technological asset is a proprietary fleet management platform providing 24x7 real-time monitoring, automated client reporting, web-accessible monitoring center, and post-service analytics, supplemented by route-specific contingency planning and escort coordination. Compliance is a central pillar: the firm aligns with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 via an integrated management policy and is registered with MTC, Osinergmin, Sutran, and Discamec for hazardous cargo operations.

The business model is direct B2B engagement with enterprise clients, reached through the company website, phone, email, and WhatsApp. Revenue is generated on a project-by-project quote basis, with pricing varying by cargo type, route complexity, escort requirements, and monitoring scope. Go-to-market relies primarily on direct outreach and industry referrals, with no disclosed partnerships, named customers, or external capital.

Direct peers

• STEF: European leader in temperature-controlled and specialized transport for food and sensitive cargo. STEF is comparable to Torus in its combination of refrigerated, specialized, and time-sensitive transport with strong regulatory compliance and real-time monitoring capabilities.
• Ransa: Peru's largest 3PL operator, providing contract logistics, warehousing, ground transportation, cold chain, and specialized cargo services. Ransa is the most direct in-market competitor to Torus across general cargo, specialized transport, and value-added logistics for mining and industrial clients.
• Trimac Transportation: Canadian bulk carrier specializing in hazmat, chemicals, and fuel transport. Trimac's service mix, regulatory focus, and chemical-industry customer base closely mirror Torus's IQBF and fuel transport operations.
• Quality Distribution: North American bulk chemical and hazmat trucking specialist. Quality Distribution is one of the closest pure-play comparables for Torus's chemical and energy liquid transport services, with similar regulatory, safety, and capital-intensity profiles.

Broad incumbents

• Geodis: Global logistics provider with specialized industrial transport and freight forwarding capabilities. Geodis competes for large multinational mining and energy accounts across Latin America with broader service breadth.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Global freight forwarder with strong special cargo and perishables divisions. Kuehne+Nagel competes for cross-border Andean mining and chemical logistics with broader network coverage than Torus.
• DHL Supply Chain: Global logistics leader with increasing Latin American presence and specialized transport capabilities. DHL is a broad incumbent that competes for enterprise mining and energy logistics contracts across the same corridors Torus operates.
• DSV: Global transport and logistics provider with growing Latin American presence. DSV's special cargo and road transport divisions target the same mining and industrial clients as Torus at greater scale.
• Rhenus Logistics: European logistics group with strong special cargo, project logistics, and bulk transport capabilities. Rhenus serves similar industrial and energy clients with comparable regulatory and quality compliance profiles.

Regional players

• Lipigas: Chilean LPG distribution major with significant fleet operations for bottled gas and bulk fuels. Lipigas is a regional comparable given overlap in GLP/GNC gas transport expertise, though it operates primarily in Chile rather than Peru.
