DSV is expanding its network of locations in Latin America with another, sixth office in Brazil. The new branch in Curitiba will serve the southern industrial states of Paraná and Santa Catarina.
Since 2012, when DSV entered the Brazilian market by opening its first office in São Paulo, the company has systematically expanded its operations in Rio de Janeiro and Santos, as well as in the state of São Paulo, in Campinas. At the beginning of June, DSV opened a new office in the southern part of Brazil, in the largest industrial center of the Rio Grande do Sul state – Porto Alegre. The latest location in Curitiba is already the sixth DSV office in Brazil.
– The Curitiba region is considered one of the best locations for investment and the second-largest car manufacturer in Brazil. Curitiba’s growth has averaged over 7 percent annually over the last 30 years, which is an impressive result compared to the country’s overall growth of 4.2 percent. Income per capita in this region is as much as 66 percent higher than the national average. Locating another branch in this area is in line with DSV’s strategy of covering all key economic centers of Brazil with our company’s services – says Arkadiusz Mirek, President of DSV Air & Sea.
The city itself is nicknamed the ecological capital of Brazil, thanks to numerous urban projects implemented there that promote environmental protection. The population of Curitiba reaches 2.5 million people, a large percentage of whom are immigrants from Germany, Italy, Poland, and Ukraine.
