At Logisfashion, we are celebrating, as we have just turned 25 years old. A period in which we have reaffirmed our end-to-end value proposition, a successful strategy that has allowed us this year to invoice more than 90 million euros and with which we intend to reach 150 million in 2023.
“These 25 years have been a huge challenge for all of us. A challenge that we have achieved thanks to our commitment to pillars such as internationalization, technology, e-commerce, and a highly committed human team from the very beginning. All this to offer a comprehensive and high-quality response to our clients,” says Juan Manzanedo, CEO of Logisfashion.
Our efforts to increase competitiveness, strengthen our international leadership and improve our growth figures have materialised in different recent actions, such as the purchase of the Panamanian company Supreme Overseas Corp, the opening of new markets such as Uruguay and the inauguration of new logistics centres in Spain, Mexico and Chile.
A roadmap with which we cover the entire supply chain: from services at origin (Asia), forwarding and customs; through logistics applied to retail, value-added services, fulfilment for e-commerce, to last mile transport.
“Our value proposition is based on the clients’ need for operators with a global presence and services that cover the entire supply chain, from the factory to the end customer, having visibility and traceability of the merchandise at all times, where technology plays a fundamental role,” explains Manzanedo.
During these 25 years, Logisfashion has become the strategic logistics partner to outsource the supply chain internationally, thanks to its 27 logistics centres spread throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia, which translate into more than 400,000 m² and a team of more than 2,000 professionals.
With a commitment to e-commerce in 2011, we carried out a complete transformation of our processes and distribution centres, expanding its services to additional sectors to fashion, such as home, pound shop, toys, jewellery, sex wellness, and many others. This strategy has resulted in 50% of our business coming from e-commerce.
Growth and internationalisation strategy since the beginning
25 years ago, Logisfashion was born in Spain, as a niche operator in the textile and fashion industry, with a first warehouse of 1,800 m² in the Barcelona town of Palau de Plegamans.
In 2007, Logisfashion began operating in Mexico accompanying its clients in their expansion into Latin America and China, with the opening of offices in Shanghai and Hong Kong to offer services at the origin of the supply chain.
In 2011, Logisfashion marks another important milestone with the complete transformation of the inside of its centres to be able to offer the logistics service for e-commerce. It continues its growth in 2014 with its landing in the USA, specifically together with its local partner with a distribution centre in Miami.
In 2015, it starts in-house logistics operations in Colombia and inaugurates a centre in the Colón free trade zone in Panama. That same year, it also expanded its facilities in Mexico and at the end of 2016 launched the forwarding division in this country. A year later, it inaugurated a cutting-edge technological megaproject in Chile.
During 2019, Logisfashion significantly expands its infrastructures in Spain, with the start-up of three logistics centres in Castile la Mancha. In 2020, it integrates the company Texlog in its operations in Colombia, enhancing the logistics capacity in the country and expanding its offer to the safeguarding and special services of textile raw materials. It also opens a new centre in Mexico, aimed at promoting the development of e-commerce in the region.
During the current year, the company has launched a new centre in Spain to accommodate the logistics operation of household products and consolidates in Panama with the acquisition of Supreme Overseas Corp, reinforcing its value proposition with forwarding and customs and its e-commerce hub as a gateway to Latin America.
