Maersk, a Danish logistics company with 119 years of existence, has stood out in the maritime shipping market by adopting a business diversification strategy.

With plans for investments of R$ 4 billion by 2025, the company aims to expand its solutions with air and truck freight, in addition to acquiring areas for storage. Executive Karin Schöner, president of the company on the East Coast of South America, is responsible for developing the company’s business in a promising region.

Doubled in size in just two years, Maersk’s expansion is one of the main reasons for the increase in revenue. In 2020, the company reported revenues of US$ 39.7 billion, in 2021 it was US$ 61.7 billion, and in 2022 revenue reached US$ 81.5 billion, representing a 105% increase in 24 months.
