Trade revolves around international logistics; commercial life is made possible thanks to this service. But do you know how this logistics world works? In this article, we tell you more about this concept in which we are proudly experts.
What is a logistics company?
Carlos Cogollos, general manager of Extreme Movers, explains that a logistics company is responsible for satisfying transport needs, coordinating the entire chain of operations to deliver products from one or several origins to one or several destinations.
"Within the chain, transport-related aspects (such as a truck, mule, ship or plane) can be involved; customs aspects such as tax declarations, cargo permit management; cargo movements that require special equipment such as cranes, forklifts, hand pallets due to their dimensions or weights; storage aspects such as cold storage, or under special conditions, among many other details that are usually coordinated by a logistics company," Carlos indicated.
How does international logistics work?
Panama is par excellence an essential logistics hub due to its ports, its two seas, its storage center and, above all, its geopolitical location.
"The vast majority of international shipping companies use the Panama Canal as a passage for their ships, and a good number of the products that pass through here are stored as a logistics center that generally supplies the region," Carlos indicated.
An example of this is the Red Cross humanitarian aid center based in Panama Pacifico. This, in turn, has led many logistics companies to base themselves here in Panama to facilitate the process of the entire logistics chain for many corporations and transnational companies.

In Panama, from which airports/ports does merchandise depart?
