Integrated logistics and port-terminal operator for Brazil's import-export trade
S.Magalhães & Essemaga operates a vertically integrated logistics network across Santos and Guarujá, handling customs clearance, terminal operations, and road transport for Brazil's import-export supply chain. The tech stack (SAP, TOTVS, SQL Server, Angular, Power BI) reflects a mid-market enterprise logistics play with legacy ERP anchors; hiring velocity is accelerating across logistics and ops roles while they tackle compliance automation and customs-process bottlenecks — signaling pressure to digitize manual trade-compliance workflows.
Founded in 1920, S.Magalhães & Essemaga is a private logistics and freight-forwarding company serving Brazil's international trade ecosystem. The company operates its own Redex terminals in Santos and Guarujá for cargo stuffing, import destuffing, and secure warehousing; runs OEA-certified road transport to ports and airports; and provides customs brokerage and drawback-regime advisory. All services—from order intake through final delivery—run on an integrated digital platform. The organization spans 1,001–5,000 employees across logistics, operations, security, engineering, HR, and legal functions, primarily hiring in Brazil.
