In a market where price often clouds strategic judgment, the ability to avoid extra costs and contractual penalties is what truly determines the continuity of major national projects.
Peru’s capital goods market is experiencing an unprecedented expansion cycle. Following the consolidation of mining projects in 2024 and the recovery of road infrastructure development in 2025, 2026 is expected to bring a significant increase in demand for imported heavy machinery. While cargo volumes from Asia continue to dominate, logistics flows from Europe and North America remain essential for the country’s technological development, requiring expert operational management that goes beyond geographical borders.
According to Kalef Laureano, Executive Director of Transglobal Peru, the success of an import operation should not be measured by freight savings alone, but by delivery precision. Poor operational handling of heavy machinery is not a minor mistake, it can trigger delivery delays, operational surcharges, and contractual penalties capable of rapidly affecting the profitability of any consignee.
For the executive, there is a growing and dangerous trend in the industry where many agencies and clients focus exclusively on securing the lowest freight rate, ignoring the fact that high-level logistics is ultimately a matter of trust and technical expertise.
This strategic vision is what has allowed the company to build more than 20 years of experience in the sector, developing the operational versatility required to manage everything from the delicate transport of a laptop to oversized heavy machinery.
The ability to control the entire logistics chain through a Door-to-Door approach ensures that these “steel giants” arrive ready to operate, avoiding the bottlenecks and operational risks that often affect less experienced logistics providers.
In heavy cargo logistics, operational precision is not an added value, it is what keeps projects moving.
