- The company strengthens its position in the Mexican market, where it has a commercial office specialising in all types of cargo, especially project cargo
BERGÉ is expanding its relationship with Grimaldi through an agreement to become Grimaldi’s commercial agent in Mexico. The aim is to strengthen the country’s connections with the east coast of South America, the west coast of Africa, the Middle East and the Far East, especially regarding project cargo goods.
This also serves to put Mexico along routes promoted by Grimaldi, such as the route between Shanghai and Brazil via Lagos, circling the Cape of Good Hope in Africa.
These efforts will focus on the Port of Veracruz and the Port of Altamira, two of the five most important port facilities in the country and the most important in the Gulf-Caribbean area. These ports will serve as the front line for Mexico’s commercial development beyond the USA, in a bid to strengthen new markets and become less dependent on its neighbouring country, also its main trading partner.
Through this agreement in Mexico, BERGÉ thus reinforces its relationship with Grimaldi. In 2024, both signed an agreement for BERGÉ to represent Grimaldi at the Port of Vigo (as was already the case at the Port of Bilbao), connecting to the Gulf of Mexico and the east coast of the USA, as well as to the Mediterranean, Middle East and Far East.
Meanwhile, BERGÉ also gains momentum in the Mexican market, where it has a commercial office specialising in all types of cargo, especially project cargo. The company already operates in Mexico as Audi’s logistics operator at its San José de Chiapa plant, under an agreement initially signed in 2018 and later extended. It has also handled logistics for Volkswagen in Puebla since 2013.
BERGÉ has a strong presence in Spain, operating at 27 ports (including Bayonne in France), as well as in Mexico and Colombia. Noteworthy numbers and services include the handling of more than 30 million tonnes of goods each year, and being the leading consignment company with almost 10,000 ships per year.
